Teppanyaki Barbecue is the first English language book devoted to Teppanyaki, a traditional Japanese method of cooking on a hotplate. The modern style of Teppanyaki evolved in post World War II Kyoto when people in the bombed out areas collected scrap metal from the debris & used it to cook their food on, over open fires. This style of cooking easily translates to the modern western barbecue & Hideo Dekura presents a range of exciting recipes to tempt anyones palate.
