Loading ...New Art Of Japanese Cooking
Posted by Foobooz on October 18th, 2007
Masaharu Morimoto is on the book tour circuit and Michael Klein catches up with him at his New York Morimoto outpost.
Restaurateur, artist, warrior. That’s how Morimoto is known from TV’s Iron Chef.
He’s now also a cookbook author, with Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking (DK Books).
Japanese purists may snort at Morimoto’s interpretations, just as they sniff at his celebrity and his multiple endeavors. Besides Iron Chef, taped at the Food Network studios upstairs from the Manhattan Morimoto, the chef is never at rest. He shuttles among his four restaurants on two continents – in Philadelphia, New York, Tokyo and Mumbai, India – trying, he says, to work the line when he is in town. He said he had no plans for more restaurants. But there’s the food-festival circuit and now a book tour.
