Step by Step Japanese Cooking 2 reviews
Lesley Downer, Minoru Yoneda
Barrons Educational Series Inc, 1986
One of the few Japanese cookbooks worth looking for.
This book has numerous color photos, and includes clearly written step-by-step procedures for making many of the dishes you'll find in a Japanese restaurant. The range of recipes span from appetizers, to rice dishes, to miso soup, to sushi and dessert. There are so many photos to guide you through the cooking process, that you are left with few (if any) questions. I've looked at a lot of ...

At the Japanese Table2 reviews
Lesley Downer
Chronicle Books, 1993
Great book - really informative
This book is a great introduction to Japanese cooking. It covers everything from sushi to noodles to soup. If you want to learn about what kind of plates to serve dinner on, look here. There's even information about how to hold your chopsticks. I was so inspired I went out, bought the ingredients, and made dinner out of the book the first night I had it.

Ready or Not . . . Get Set Go (An Entrepreneurs Guide to Starting and Maintaining a Successful Business)3 reviews
Sheila A. Downer
Professional Prodigy, 2000
Easy Read & Informative
In comparison to other books that I have read and/or bought, this one is highly recommended as a must read. The book is informative in so many ways. Example: the chapter on zoning was to the point minus legal jargon; and the usual redundant babble that is of no value for being an entrepreneur, it's only to fill up the page. I've found that most books on being an entrepreneur graze over the ...

Father's Reward
I gave this book to my son. After he read it his wife (my daughter-in-law) gave me a big hug thanking me for giving it to him. She and the kids had benefitted from my sons application of the Biblical truth in this book to his life.

Books of the Keepers1 review
Ann Downer
Atheneum, 1993
Believe the editorial reviews!!!
I can't believe that: 1. this book hasn't had any reader reviews yet 2. Ann Downer seems not to have written any more fantasy, considering that she started this trilogy when she was 13. I actually read the omnibus edition and if you can find it, you should buy that since all three books are interwoven on several story-strands (although you can easily enjoy them on their own). That's one of the ...

Vyrna (the wyvern) and Theodora (the wizard) have been separated by an ocean since the Events of Last Summer - when they put a stop to the plans of an evil wizard that involved time travel, demon possession, and the summoning of a Chinese dragon in the middle of ...

A work of genius!
Prior to reading this book I would have numbered the most powerful works of literature in my reading experience as follows: 1) Blindness by Jose Saramago 2) One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez 3) Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier 4) The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck 5) Death of a Salesman by Miller Now, however, the old order has been shaken. It says in the Bible that there is no new thing ...

Madame Sadayakko1 review
Lesley Downer
Gotham, 2004
Not the typical bit of history you would expect to learn.
Madame Sadayakko was an enjoyable book and a quick read. Perhaps it was quick because I couldn't wait to get to the next point in the adventure of her life. Many of the biographies I read from this period criss cross into each other. This was the exception. This was a colorful and exciting piece of history I never gave a thought to explore. I'm glad I did

Memories
My husband was given this book when he was little. We have his original copy, but I was excited to find this and share it with my side of the family. My husband grew up in the Netherlands, so it's fun that this book is good in any language! My kids (2y and 5y) love creating the story for themselves.

Must Buy!
After borrowing this book from the library I knew I had to own it! The illustrations are colorful, precise and engaging. The projects include a nice variety from traditional crafts to cooking, playtime activities and wildlife. Some are quite quick to complete and others are great for taking your time. Perfect for many ages, including very young children. Great job! Well worth your money.
