Posted on Wednesday, November, 3rd, 2010 at 4:27 pm (No comments)Interviewer: Ross Rojek
Abundance is the story of one man’s quest for a life of freedom and self-expression. Taro Arai was born on a tiny island in Japan to a family of limited means. Today, he is a renowned master sushi chef and the owner of eight award-winning Japanese restaurants in the United States. In this book, he shares both his journey and some of his favorite recipes. Filled with inspiration and a healthy dose of humor, it is a look into the evolution of sushi and the progression of an individual who never lost sight of his vision. Chef Taro shares the story of his early years in Japan, his pursuit of the American dream, and his adventures as a restaurateur. In addition to telling the inside story about the creation of his Mikuni restaurants, he reveals special recipes that have remained secrets until now. You’ll learn about the origins of sushi and the traditions embraced by the Japanese culture-and maybe even learn a phrase or two in Taro’s native language. Follow his lead as he takes you on a senses-stimulating excursion into a world of extraordinary flavors, compelling textures, and visual enchantment. The foreword to the book was written by renowned author Nicholas Sparks, a longtime friend of chef Taro and a frequent guest at the first Mikuni restaurant.
