Tim Anderson, former winner of MasterChef, presents tasty dishes from the Japanese kitchen in his book about Japanese soul food - Nanban. Everything is explored here, from ramen with its wealth of toppings, texture and flavor, to gyoza filled with umami and spices. Currently making waves in the UK through street food, ramen bars and casual dining, this food offers a counterbalance to typical Japanese restaurant cuisine.

The book is filled with unexpected delights, from the Sasebo burger to Japanese interpretations of fried chicken. Discover chapters on sauces, small dishes, main dishes, grilled, ramen, desserts and drinks.

Tim explains Japanese ingredients, where to get them and how to substitute them if they are not available. He includes easy recipes for beginners as well as some more advanced projects for food enthusiasts.
