You know occasionally, you dither over whether you should buy a book for ages... keep it in your Amazon wishlist for a year or more? Then when you finally buy it and take a proper look, you think, "Why the fuck didn't I get this book before?". I did that with this book. It makes all my other Japanese cookery books look like they were written for kids.

I just read this post and knew without having to scroll up what book was being referred to. :levi:

Something blasphemous for the Rector to chew on: :Jeebus:. I have this feeling he wouldn't have approved of the interwebz.
