Diary Entry: Jan. 4, 1953
"Rain! Stayed in all day. Teruko-san made sukiyaki for supper and used sake in it and it was delicious.

| Caption reads: Sukiyaki, the most popular recipe, the "friendship dish" best known and loved by our foreign friends. |
After supper we went to Brays for dessert and to play with electric train. Children had a wonderful time."
NOTES: Images and recipe are from The Japanese Cookbook: 100 Favorite Japanese Recipes for Western Cooks, by Aya Kagawa, M.D., Tokyo, 1953. Omo-chi is the rice cake and ozo-ni is a soup which contains a rice cake served for New Years.
The illustrations are delightful and I do so enjoy reading the recipes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Merryl! I enjoy the recipes too. The New Years stories and illustrations are about to come to an end, but I thought they were fun too.
