Discover the Ultimate Guide to Modern Cooking Utensils
Maximizing Taste, Beauty, and Fun in the Kitchen
Shunsuke Inada, a renowned chef and restaurateur, has written a comprehensive guide to modern cooking utensils. As the head chef of the South Indian restaurant “Eric South” and a producer of various restaurants serving Japanese, French, and Western cuisine, Inada’s expertise extends far beyond a single type of cuisine. His book, “Modern Cooking Utensils: Maximizing Taste, Beauty, and Fun,” focuses on the essential tools needed to achieve the best results in the kitchen.
Inada’s approach is unique in that he doesn’t just introduce tools, but also provides insights on how to use them to achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time. From high-end brands like Staub and Shiri Shiri to affordable 100-yen store goods, each tool is examined from multiple angles, including functionality, design, and personal thoughts. The book aims to rediscover the “deliciousness” that should be sought for the best results.
One of the book’s key sections, “A 20cm frying pan is enough,” challenges the conventional wisdom that stews and other dishes taste better when cooked in large quantities at once. Inada argues that by measuring out seasonings accurately, adjusting the amount of water, and choosing a pan of the right size, you can recreate the same taste as if you were cooking a large amount at once. This section is accompanied by a recipe for a spicy dashima curry that can be made in one pan, complete with color photos, demonstrating the convenience of the tools.
In today’s world, where ready-made food has improved significantly, cooking at home is no longer a necessity. However, Inada emphasizes the importance of cooking at home, citing the benefits of using cooking utensils to streamline the process and make it more enjoyable. By focusing on cooking utensils, this book provides a valuable resource for home cooks looking to reduce effort and maximize results.
