Umai

$55.00 AUD
Tax included

Blurb

Japanese home cooking has a way of feeling both deeply comforting and quietly refined. Umai is a celebration of the dishes people actually cook and crave, from nourishing bowls of ramen and crisp katsu to simple rice dishes, pickles, and sweets that turn everyday meals into something memorable.

Written with warmth and ease, this cookbook brings together more than 80 approachable Japanese recipes designed for home kitchens rather than restaurant perfection. Rich in flavour, thoughtful in technique, and grounded in the rituals of sharing food, Umai is the kind of cookbook you’ll reach for when you want meals that feel soulful, satisfying, and full of care.

About the Author

Millie Tsukagoshi Lagares writes about food with deep affection for the traditions, flavours, and everyday rituals that shape Japanese cooking. Drawing on her Japanese heritage and love of home cooking, her approach feels generous, approachable, and grounded in the belief that good food is as much about connection as it is technique.
