Let's get cooking!
To whom it may concern...!
Most of you guys know that I'm studying to be a translator at the moment. One of my first pieces of homework was a Japanese-to-English translation of a recipe, and I enjoyed it more than almost anything else we've done. Using that experience as inspiration, last month, I kicked off a personal project to improve my skills.
Since my new electronic dictionary came with a very nice little cookbook included in the database, I thought I would take a crack at translating the recipes therein. (It's a bewildering special feature for a dictionary, yes, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.) All of the recipes are fairly simple and sound really tasty, and I've tried making a few myself already with good results, so it seemed like a good choice of source material.
So! If any of you culinary types are interested, or if any of you mere mortals like myself just want easy Japanese dinner recipes, you can find the whole project at:

There are eight recipes up already, and I'll be updating it with at least one recipe a week. Stay tuned!
