Some of our most cherished memories are of visits to Grandma's
house...and the wonderful meals she cooked for us. When she called
us down for breakfast, we knew there would be homemade caramel
rolls and hot cocoa waiting, just for us. In chilly weather, there
was always a hearty kettle of vegetable soup or chili simmering on
her stove. At dinnertime, the table overflowed with tender chicken
and noodles or slow-baked pot roast, buttery mashed potatoes, brown
sugar carrots (because she knew we wouldn't eat them, otherwise!)
and salads, fresh-picked from her garden. Her cookie jar was filled
with our favorite snickerdoodles or chocolate chip cookies, and
there was always a frosted layer cake in the cake stand. So many
delicious memories! From Grandma's Recipe Box is chock-full of all
these recipes and more, shared by cooks like you, handed down

This guide to common courtesy, acceptable behavior, and manners is
essential for any visitor to Japan. Japanese are unfailingly polite
and will never tell you if you've crossed the line. But by knowing
how to act in every situation you'll gain the respect of your hosts
and in the end get even better service and enjoyment during your
travels. Covered here are all the essentials--like travel,
greetings, dining--plus subtle niceties like tone of voice, body
language, cell phone usage, city vs. country styles, and attire
(and what to do about your tattoos!). The author, a 25-year
resident of Japan and tourist adviser who lives on the fabled
Inland Sea, knows just what foreign visitors need and delivers it
in a smart, compact, and delightfully illustrated package for quick
use and reference.
