A propos de cet article

First printing. 8 3/8" x 5¾". Pictorial thin card wrappers; plastic spiral binding. Pp. 216 + four illustrated thin card section separators + three blank leaves at end for notes. Very good with light overall wear and light creases to wrapperes. This is a fantastic cookbook distributed by the St. Louis chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). Founded in 1929, the JACL is the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization in the United States. Per their website, the "ongoing mission is to secure and maintain the civil rights of Japanese Americans and all others who are victimized by injustice and bigotry." They also work to "promote cultural, educational and social values and preserve the heritage and legacy of the Japanese American community." The St. Louis chapter of the JACL was founded in 1946 and is especially noted for their efforts in establishing the Japanese Garden of St. Louis (widely known as one of the finest in the country) as well as their Nisei Kitchen cookbook, first published in 1975 and in its ninth printing as of 2021. This book listed the "Cook Book Committee" members and issued a dedication: "From our ISSEI parents, the first generation of Japanese to live in America, we NISEI, the second generation, lovingly transmit the miracle of life and richness of heritage to our children, the SANSEI, or third generation." It held general content about Japanese cooking, which "underscores the need to be at one with nature, utilizing the earth's resources wisely." There were three pages on gardening, two on planning a Japanese meal, and one on tea, "the most important beverage of the Japanese." The main content of the book was 199 recipes in 14 different categories including "appetizers and picnic foods," seafood, "sunomono (vinegared foods)," noodles and desserts. There were sections for Chinese and Korean dishes, as well as Polynesian food for a "Hawaiian Luau" and extra narrative on soup, rice and the New Year's celebration. Recipes included eggplant with mustard-miso sauce, cold summer noodles, various "tsukemono (pickles)" and even "frankfurters in soy sauce." Several of the recipes credited the chef authors, most of whom appeared to be women, and a nine page glossary was included at the rear. A scarce first edition of this important Japanese American contribution to the culinary arts. OCLC shows five holdings.…

Description de la boutique

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
