Summer just left us here in Australia. :( I'm so jealous you have summer coming your way! I miss cherries too, they're practically non-existent at the moment, apart from the super expensive imported ones :( But love the recipe and the looks of the clafoutis :D I'll make them when I can get my hands on cherries.

I love curry. Surprisingly I only came to love it while in Japan! I hated the smell before and I also had never had Indian curry before. I love both the Indian style and the Japanese style. This recipe looks nice. I was thinking of making a simple curry, but I didn't want to use those House curry blocks because of the high sodium and fat content! Thanks for posting this recipe. :)

Looks what you have done! I just purchased 1 & 2 of the books from ebay! haha Although I love to cook, I also love to read cookbooks and have tons. I must have about 8 or so cookbooks from Hawaii too and these two will share the same area of my bookshelf. The recipe looks very eat and good. I know my husband would enjoy it. I did not know of anyone who did not like chicken.

I eat Japanese foods about 75% of times now, but for lunch I like to make all types of noodles. Tonight, I am making Chen's son's (Iron Chef) yakisoba that uses minced porked cooked in tenmenjan first. Noodles are fried fried crisp in pan and stock added for noodles to soak in and you mis the meat sauce over it.

Hello Kat - enjoy your blog of Japan. The dandanmen you ordered seems more non-Japanese style ie authentic. Glad you can find this style too now in Japan.

Oh that looks good!
