This beautifully written cookbook celebrates the art of donabe cooking - the use of traditional Japanese earthenware pots that have been cherished for centuries for their simplicity, versatility and ability to create deeply comforting, flavourful meals.

At the heart of Simply Donabe by Naoko Takei Moore is the idea of sharing nourishing, one-pot Japanese dishes that bring people together. This inspiring cookbook makes donabe cooking accessible for modern home cooks, with recipes that showcase how easy it is to create authentic Japanese meals at home.

Discover a range of dishes, from elegant hotpots like Sea Bream Shabu Shabu and Sweet and Sour Minced Pork, to comforting everyday recipes such as Egg Porridge and Miso-Simmered Ramen. You’ll also find flavourful sides like Green Beans in Walnut Miso Cream and Quick-Pickled Napa Cabbage.

This cookbook pairs perfectly with authentic donabe cookware. Naoko’s recipes feature traditional clay pots, produced by Nagatani, handcrafted in Japan and designed to deliver the gentle, even cooking and rich flavour that define donabe cuisine.
