The Japanese Pantry with Emiko Davies

Emiko Davies has currently escaped the Italian heat for some winter respite in Australia. I’m very pleased to say she will be visiting Flour and Stone for an exclusive peek at her new cookbook The Japanese Pantry: From Sake to Soy: Essential Ingredients for Japanese Home Cooking.

We will be hosting two Q and A sessions with Emiko in our Pantry on August 23rd where we will be cooking from The Japanese Pantry and then afterwards Emiko will be signing books. Our counter will also be abundant with cakes from Emiko’s new book.

Emiko has chosen 7 ingredients that make up 7 chapters that she considers essential in her Japanese pantry: soy sauce, miso, rice vinegar, seaweed, sake, sesame and tea.

“This is a book that I hope will inspire people to make the most of these powerful pantry ingredients and feel confident in recreating Japanese flavours at home that are inherently simple and full of flavour. In each chapter I have given context to the process, history and culture behind the making of those ingredients (I travelled to Japan last year to visit producers of each of these ingredients!), sprinkled with essays that highlight important stories about Japanese cuisine”. Emiko Davies

This is Emiko’s seventh cookbook, and won’t be out until this late October 2025 in the US, UK and Australia so this is your opportunity to get your hands on a copy first.
