There is only one way to lose weight – eat less. This cookbook does not involve any calorie counting, referring to a pre-calculated index, excluding some essential food, or worse still, limiting the selections of food allowed. There is one simple rule: delicious and perfectly balanced Japanese-inspired meals are to be eaten with chopsticks. Eating with chopsticks naturally makes you take smaller mouthfuls that instantly reduce the amount of food you eat; it slows you down and encourages you to chew more, which increases the flow of digestive juices and leaves you feeling more satisfied. In this cookbook, Kimiko Barber explores the benefits of the Japanese cuisine and presents 120 mouth-watering recipes using traditional Japanese fare (rice, fish, soy beans, vegetables, seaweeds, fruits) in fresh, modern ways.

Kimiko Barber is a well-respected, self-taught Japanese cook and demonstrator. She learnt to cook with her three grandmothers – one in the cosmopolitan city of Kobe, another in the ancient city of Kyoto and the third in a rustic country kitchen in the rural island of shikoku.

Teaching Japanese cooking at a number of cookery schools around the UK and contributing to the Weekend Financial Times on its food and wine and travel section is something she does regularly. She also gives lectures and has had papers published by the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery and enjoys broadcasting work, including Radio 4′s Food Program, BBC's Saturday Kitchen and most recently, ITV’s Word Best Diet.

Kimiko is author of The Chopsticks Diet, The Japanese Kitchen, and Japanese Pure and Simple (which was shortlisted for a Guild of Food Writers’ award). Kimiko lives in London during the week with her husband and three sons and is an enthusiastic organic vegetable gardener at their weekend mill house in North Oxfordshire.
