It has been slowly nurtured over the last 400 years and retains a cherished place among Japan's most popular foods. For lunch a bowl of fresh noodles makes a light, fortifying meal. At night, the chewy pasta, tender stuffed dumplings, and other fare of the soba tradition are lingered over lovingly, a cup of sake in hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs happened with sushi more than ten years ago, soba shops -- both plebeian and elegant -- are popping up in major American cities. The very best of these offer soba in all its simple finery -- al dente noodles made from freshly ground flour, small mouthfuls of buckwheat noodles with a sushi topping (called, naturally enough, Soba Sushi), and perhaps a tempura appetizer to start it all off. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Book of Soba is the first book in English to fully explore this long-cherished food tradition, and James Udesky, the first Westerner to complete a soba apprenticeship. He examines the soba culture in depth and offers the latest assessment of the nutritional value of this healthy, lysine-rich, fat-free pasta. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Udesky brings an insider's expertise to this comprehensive work. He presents a collection of classic and innovative soba recipes with many of the secrets of the trade as only a seasoned cook could know them. And most important, he supplies an easy-to-follow, fully illustrated text for making fresh noodles in your own kitchen -- in just a few minutes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this book, one of the East's best-kept secrets has found its way West. Exotic, authentic, wholesome, and refreshing, soba provides a wealth of new possibilities for health-conscious diners, pasta lovers, and creative cooks everywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition with some tiny tears on dust jacket corners. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sold Out Cookbooks","offers":[{"title":"HC \/ 9780870118609","offer_id":35169253884060,"sku":"","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/1038\/2236\/products\/BookSoba.jpg?v=1595501286","url":"https:\/\/cookbookvillage741-com.myshopify.com\/products\/book-of-soba","provider":"cookbookvillage741.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
