Every other month, the Daily Yomiuri hands out a little premium to its subscribers—this month we received a small cookbook titled “Dinner meets French Dishes: asian ingredients and herbs bring out the taste”

It’s full of unique recipes. Would you like to try Miso Ratatouille, Green Onion Saute with Red Wine Sauce, or Squid & Potato Sandwiches (Fried)? I am not making these up; I can send you the recipes that chef Kazuhisa Tashiro has included in this illustrated booklet.

I swear I made this one when I was 7 years old.

Potato and Blueberry Jam Gratin
1 boiled potato, cut into 1 cm thick slices
2 teaspoons of blueberry jam
3-4 pats of butter
black pepper to taste

Arrange half of the potatoes in a small gratin dish, spread with a teaspoon of jam. Top with the remaining potato slices, another spoonful of jam, and several pats of butter. Microwave for 1 minute or until the butter is melted. Sprinkle with black pepper. Posted by kuri at November 24, 2001 08:04 AM
