Nancy Singleton Hachisu's Culinary Journey Takes a New Turn

In a surprising twist in the world of culinary publishing, renowned Japanese cookbook author Nancy Singleton Hachisu has successfully found a new home for her upcoming project after her previous publisher discontinued it. Known for her commitment to farm-to-table cooking, Hachisu’s latest book, titled “The Art and Craft of Japanese Cooking: Artisans, Chefs, Recipes,” is set to be released in 2026 through Tuttle Publishing.

Hachisu, whose previous works like “Japanese Farm Food” and “Japan: The Cookbook” have earned her a prominent place in the hearts of food lovers, faced an unexpected setback when her earlier manuscript was shelved. Despite her established reputation, the reasons behind this abrupt halt remain unclear, leading to speculation that a shift in focus from traditional rustic dishes to more refined recipes may have contributed to the publisher's decision.

As the culinary landscape continues to evolve, Hachisu’s new book promises to bridge her roots in rustic Japanese cooking with the artistry of esteemed chefs, offering readers a fresh perspective on Japanese cuisine.
