Even after living in Tokyo for decades and running two ramen shops that earned him international renown, he remained a gaijin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fortunately, being a lifelong outsider has made Orkin a more curious, open, and studious chef. In \u003ci\u003eThe Gaijin Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e, he condenses his experiences into approachable recipes for every occasion, including weeknights with picky kids, boozy weekends, and celebrations. Everyday dishes like Pork and Miso-Ginger Stew, Stir-Fried Udon, and Japanese Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce are what keep the Orkin family connected to Japan. For more festive dinners, he suggests a Temaki Party, where guests assemble their own sushi from cooked and fresh fillings. And recipes for Bagels with Shiso Gravlax and Tofu Coney Island (fried tofu with mushroom chili) reveal the eclectic spirit of Ivan's cooking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rux Martin\/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328954350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2019 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ivan Orkin, Chris Ying","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649018163356,"sku":"9781328954350","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5f8e8bc1-da79-47e1-8a99-323212f13d0d.jpg?v=1603871742","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gaijin-cookbook-japanese-recipes-from-a-chef-father-eater-and-lifelong-outsider-9781328954350","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
