"This cookbook is EVERYTHING. It brings me straight back to the sweltering heat of Dotonbori Street in June, hiding in a hot shop, eating takoyaki as the old woman makes more outside. I watched the bonito wave in the steam, dancing like it was alive...This book transported me back there. And I am SO appreciative. Now I can try okonomiyaki!" --Kelly Russell, Second Flight Books
