Cookbooks

Explore the culinary world in flavorful cookbooks and coffee table books

Cooking is not just a necessary daily activity; it is an art form that connects cultures, brings people together and stimulates the senses. At MOKUMO, we understand the deep value that cookbooks add to both an amateur chef's kitchen and a culinary professional's library. That is why we have carefully curated a collection of cookbooks that offer more than just recipes. They open a window into the culinary world, offer insight into the history and culture of food, and share the stories behind the dishes.

A world of flavors

Our collection covers a wide range of cuisines, from sophisticated Japanese vegetarian dishes to savory Italian pasta and classic French bistro cuisine.

Specific ingredients and iconic restaurants

Some of our cookbooks focus on specific ingredients, such as lemons or eggs, and offer in-depth insight into their versatility in the kitchen. Others celebrate the culinary achievements of specific restaurants, such as BAO in London or Toscanini in Amsterdam, and share the secrets behind their success.

The refined simplicity of Italian cuisine

Italian cuisine is known worldwide for its refined simplicity, focusing on the quality of its ingredients and the depth of flavors. This culinary tradition, deeply rooted in Italy's history and culture, is a celebration of regional diversity and seasonal produce. From the rich, savory pastas of the north to the fresh, vibrant dishes of the Mediterranean coast, each region of Italy offers a unique culinary experience. Characteristic of Italian cuisine is its emphasis on simplicity, with dishes often containing no more than four to five ingredients, allowing the natural flavors of each component to shine. Italian meals are a social event, meant to be shared with family and friends, where the love of food and companionship go hand in hand.

The harmonious diversity of Japanese cuisine

Japanese cuisine, or "washoku," is an art form that emphasizes balance, seasonality and aesthetics. It is a cuisine that respects the natural flavors of its ingredients and blends them harmoniously to create dishes that please both the eye and the palate. From the delicate art of sushi and sashimi to the heartwarming comfort of ramen and udon, Japanese cuisine offers a wide range of flavors and textures. It is characterized by its attention to seasonal ingredients, which not only ensure the freshness of the food but also emphasize its connection to the natural cycle. Japanese cuisine is also known for its "umami," the fifth flavor, which offers a deep, rich taste experience. It is a cuisine that embraces both tradition and innovation, combining ancient techniques with modern influences to create dishes that are both authentic and innovative.
