Relentless forays into the world of classic and contemporary Japanese cooking
Unfortunately, this is mostly due to pure unadulterated laziness, rather than any Zen-like insight.
It was fast becoming clear that eating the same three meals — rare steak (quick to cook), pan-fried sea bass (very quick to cook), and instant tom yum noodles (cheap and quick to cook) — in rotating succession was not the way to go.
Italian was out – the pleasure side ruined by association with impoverished student days. French cookery lost on the pain scale – complex sauces, lengthy preparations, and recipes quoted in hours rather than seconds.
Not being a fan of couscous or heavy spices ruled out several more culinary options. I was running out of continents here.
In hindsight, the answer was clear as soup. After years of near-certifiable levels of sushi addiction, it was time to give the rest of Japanese cuisine a go.
The rest, they say, is cookery.

Classic Japanese - Food cooked by your Japanese grandma.
Contemporary Japanese - Food served in restaurants you can't afford.
Keep it simple. Breathe. Don't forget the soy sauce.
