Full description for Cool Tools
Japanese cuisine is flourishing among the food-conscious all over the world, as are the cookbooks featuring recipes from a wide variety of styles. Now, "Cool Tools" goes deep inside the kitchen, into the cupboards and the drawers, to the stove tops and wall hangers where a variety of unique utensils are stored. Here are the items seen used by the hands of the famous in their kitchens: and the not-so-famous in their homes. As with so many Japanese creations, these utensils are both functional and artistic, and the pieces that are the focus of this book are treated as both works of art and items of practical interest. The photography, by one of Japan's best, celebrates quality in materials and design. The text, by a long-time columnist on Tokyo dining and entertaining, celebrates the history, the usage and the people behind these tools, in brief and informative entries. It presents Japanese craft art to enliven the kitchen.
