After working hard for the past several months, I’m extremely happy to announce that my first eBook, Just One Cookbook – Essential Japanese Recipes is here!

After all, Just One Cookbook is no longer one cookbook! 🙂
During the past 3 years of blogging, I’ve received many interests and inquiries for my cookbook from JOC readers. My reply has always been, “No, I do not have published cookbooks, just the blog to keep all the recipes I love.”
However, with the increasing requests for a cookbook, you’ve convinced me! I realized many of my readers are interested in cooking Japanese food, but when you come to my site it’s not very clear where to start.
So I’ve selected 33 easy and simple recipes that my family, JOC readers, and I love most from Just One Cookbook.
Just One Cookbook Essential Japanese Recipes (e-Book)
This cookbook has over 90 pages of recipes and instructions for appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, rice & noodles, and dessert, which include 12 pages of Japanese cooking basics and pantry items.
Here are a few snapshots from the book:

Hi Kimberly, We have a print version available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/35Ahqge). We hope this helps!
I subscribed because your site is so pretty and you have such fun ideas about parties. Yesterday I finally tried a recipe. It was good, really good and as fun as your website. I will try another.
Hi Julia, Thank you very much for subscribing to our newsletter. We hope you enjoy many dishes from our website!
Could you please consider making a donation to the Baby Moses sanctuary in Johannesburg South Africa. They do wonderful work but covid-19 really cut into their donations and volunteers..
https://babymoses.co.za/
I have been there and found it to be a remarkable place of love and healing.
I love your recipes !!
Hi Dorene, Thank you for your suggestions. We receive many requests every day but cannot donate to every organization. We’ll check and consider.😊 Thank you!💞
Hi Nami,
I’m a big fan of your recipes and would like to purchase your eCookbook however the ‘Purchase Now’ link does not appear to be working. When I select the ‘Purchase Now’ link the page simply refreshes and so I appear to be going around in a continuous loop. Is the eCookbook still available for purchase?
Hi Gabrielle, Thank you very much for your interest in the cookbook and your Love and support! Yes. This e-cookbook is still available for everyone. We’re really sorry for how frustrating this situation is. I had looked, and it shows no problem on our end. Could you please click the “BUY NOW” sign under “GET THE JUST ONE COOKBOOK E-BOOK NOW!” in this post again? It should redirect you to the PayPal site, where you can choose the payment method. If you still have a problem, please let us know. Thank you!💕

I would like to order this cookbook and pay by credit card but am having problems doing so.
Hi Susan,
Thank you very much for your interest and support. We will e-mail you shortly. Thank you!
Hello! Does your e-cookbook cover making Katsu-don or any other don-buri dishes?
Hi Scott,
The e-cookbook has Oyako don.
You can see the list of contents in one of the pictures in this post.
Thank you very much for your support.💕
I would love to have a hard copy of this book – any chance something like that exists?
Hi Hilary,
We have it available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/35Ahqge) now!
Thank you very much for your support!🥰
Hello, I am really interested in your e-book, but I do not want to pay by pay pall. I would pay with my credit card, but online it always leads me to pay pall. Is there any option to buy this book only by credit card??
Hi Agnes!

Mahalo, Jan 11.10.20
Hi Jan,
We have never tried this recipe with dried chestnuts before. We have to try it one day…
Most packages said; To use: boil for 45 minutes or until tender and use as directed in recipes.
Let us know how it goes!😊
Hi Jan,
This cookbook has over 90 pages of recipes and instructions in the pdf file only, and you will download it to your device. It is not a subscription book. Thank you!🙂
