Tim Anderson is back to David's for his new cookbook, HOKKAIDO. This is the first published cookbook to explore the vibrant culinary scene of Japan’s northernmost island – one of the most captivating and unique places to eat in the world. Featuring inventive, accessible recipes using under-explored ingredients in Japanese cooking – milk, melons, crab and sweetcorn to name a few – HOKKAIDO showcases the truly unique cuisine of Northern Japan, as well as offering stunning location photography and travel recommendations.

Known especially for its seafood and dairy products, Hokkaido is a Japanese prefecture that has long been beloved for its vibrant culinary scene. The prefecture incorporates three foodways – European agricultural models; traditional and modern Japanese cuisine; and indigenous Ainu gastronomy – which have led to it to have a distinct food culture from the rest of Japan.

HOKKAIDO showcases the variety – and quality! – of the food that the prefecture has to offer with a selection of delicious recipes. Think Sweetcorn with Soy Sauce Butter and Rice Dumplings with Walnut Sauce; big dishes such as Fried Salmon Rice Bowl and Sapporo Miso Ramen; and sweet treats like ‘Snowmelt’ Cheesecake and Crispy Sweetcorn Chocolate. The recipes mostly fall into two categories: traditional, regional dishes and homages to specific dishes.

There are also four Ainu recipes, which have been contributed by an Ainu chef, Hiroaki Kon. With travelogues exploring different regions, as well as beautiful photography, Hokkaido showcases one of the most unique and wonderful places to eat in the world.
