Welcome to the Shiga JET Cookbook!
Are you tired of eating the same two meals every single day? Is going to family restaurants four times a week robbing you of your hard-earned income? Do you eat so many conbini bentos that you're worried you'll soon cause irreparable harm to your body?
If you answered "I never thought about it in those terms but wow yes" to any of these questions, then you've come to the right place!
For foreigners living in Japan, oftentimes familiar recipes from our home countries use ingredients or cooking methods that we lack access to, along with the challenge of local recipes being written in Japanese. Whether you’re an experienced home cook or you struggle to toast bread correctly, sometimes it’s hard to know what’s possible here. That’s where we come in!
The Shiga JET Cookbook is a list of recipes written up by the community and collected here for your perusal. Browse the recipes, find something you like, and give it a try! Experience the wonder of a varied diet! Love your life!
Do you want to add to the Cookbook? Write up your idea as a full recipe (see the guidelines!) and send to [email protected] (with the tagline AJET RECIPE) as a Word document (one document per recipe). Here are the guidelines:
- Must be well-formatted and easy to follow
- Should include an ingredients list with measurements
- Must use ingredients that are easy to acquire at an ordinary Japanese supermarket. Heiwado = OK, Amica/Costco/Liquor Mountain = NOT OK
- Must be possible to be cooked on the stove, in the fish oven, or in a toaster oven. In other words, recipes that require an oven are not allowed.
- No multiples of a recipe that is already on the list, unless it is significantly different
- If you’re adapting a recipe from another site, rewrite the recipe IN YOUR OWN WORDS and make a note giving credit to the original source
- We may ask that changes be made to recipes in order to be posted or choose not to accept recipes
