Let cooking be an experience.
This isn't like any cookbook you've used before. Authentically Japanese and backed by a hip-hop soundtrack, this is a sensory experience.
Takako Tamura is a Japanese-Australian chef known for blending traditional Japanese flavours with contemporary seasonal cooking, culture, music, and art.
In these pages you will find mouth-watering recipes – think zingy yuzu oil and deliciously umami nori dressing – each accompanied by original beats by Japanese composer Moyou (scannable via QR code). Sauces have never sounded so good.
Whether you are a novice in the kitchen or an everyday chef, your experience of cooking – and eating – will be forever elevated.
Sauces is a testament that food can connect people across cultures.
