Mouritsen 1* and Klavs Styrbæk 2 1 Design and Consumer Behavior and Nordic Food Lab, Department of Food Science and Taste for Life, University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Denmark, 2 STYRBÆKS, Odense, Denmark Cephalopods, specifically Coleoidea (squid, octopus, and cuttlefish), have for millennia been used as marine food by humans across the world and across different food cultures. It is particularly the mantle, the arms, the ink, and part of the intestines such as the liver that have been used. In addition to being consumed in the fresh and raw states, the various world cuisines have prepared cephalopods by a wide range of culinary techniques, such as boiling and steaming, frying, grilling, marinating, smoking, drying, and fermenting. Cephalopods are generally good nutritional sources of proteins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, as well as micronutrients, and their fat content is low. Whereas being part of the common fare in, e.g., Southeast Asia and Southern Europe, cephalopods are seldom used in regional cuisines in, e.g., North America and Northern Europe although the local waters there often have abundant sources of specific species that are edible.

  • Recipe Books in North America
    Greetings How have Japanese foods changed between generations of Nikkei since they first arrived in their adopted countries from Japan? On behalf of the Kikkoman Institute for International Food Culture (KIIFC), Mr. Shigeru Kojima of the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, set out to answer this question. From 2015 to 2018, Mr. Kojima investigated recipe books and conducted interviews in areas populated by Japanese immigrants, particularly in Brazil and North American, including Hawaii. His research results on Brazil were published in 2017 in Food Culture No. 27. In this continuation of the series, he focuses on North America. With the long history of Japanese immigration to North America, as well as Nikkei internments during WWII, the researcher had some concerns as to how many recipe books could be collected. Thanks to Mr. Kojima’s two intensive research trips, the results were better than expected. At a time of increasing digitization in publishing, we believe this research is both timely and a great aid in preserving historical materials. We expect these accumulated historical materials will be utilized for other research in the future. The KIIFC will continue to promote activities that help the public gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures through the exploration of food culture. CONTENTS Feature Recipe Books in North America 3 Introduction Recipe Books Published by Buddhist Associations and Other Religious Groups 10 Recipe Books Published by Nikkei Associations (Excluding Religious Associations) 13 Mobile Kitchen Recipe Books 15 Recipe Books Published by Public Markets and Others 17 Books of Japanese Recipes as Ethnic Cuisine 20 Recipe Books as Handbooks for Living in Different Cultures 21 Hand-written Recipe Books 22 Summary Shigeru Kojima A research fellow at the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, Shigeru Kojima was born in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture.
