The cooking of Chef Masaharu Morimoto, the Japanese Iron Chef from the Food Network’s “Iron Chef America, has distinctive Japanese roots, yet it is actually, as Morimoto himself calls it “ global cooking for the 21st century”. Morimoto has created a unique cuisine that is characterized by beautiful Japanese colour and aromas while the preparation infuses multicultural influences such as Chinese spices and Italian ingredients, presented in a refined French style.

Published this month by DK, Morimoto’s first-ever book, Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking brings all these elements together for the home cook. Featuring 125 incredible and accessible recipes, including Tuna Pizza and mouth-watering Bouillabaisse to sinfully rich Chocolate Tart with White Chocolate Sorbet, this magnificently photographed cookbook includes amazing step by step photography as well as special features explaining Chef Morimoto’ cooking techniques and plating philosophies. “ Going to a restaurant is like going to the theatre, “ says Chef Morimoto, and no other restaurant experience exemplifies this sentiment like Morimoto’s restaurants. Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking is the first truly accessible cookbook from one of the master performers of the culinary world.

Enjoy a sneak peak at the recipes for Morimoto’s signature Tuna Pizza and Daikon Fettuccine with Tomato-Basil Sauce.

Chef Masaharu Morimoto has been the Japanese Iron Chef on The Food Network’s weekly show, “Iron Chef” and its spin-off “Iron Chef America”, since 1999.  He has restaurants in New York, Philadelphia, Tokyo and Mumbai. After opening his own restaurant in Hiroshima, Japan at the age of 24, Morimoto moved to Manhattan and became a chef at the Sony Club in Manhattan.  Shortly afterward he became executive chef at New York’s prestigious Nobu restaurant. He is as comfortable cooking against the clock for a live television audience as he is preparing his signature omakase menu at his namesake restaurants. But no matter the circumstances, wherever Chef Morimoto cooks, his inspired and innovative dishes garner critical and popular acclaim. Through the seamless integration of Western and Japanese ingredients, Masaharu Morimoto has effectively created his own, unique cuisine—one defined by innovation and inspiration.
