2 This booklet provides recipes for the food served at Peggy Rae Sapienza’s 60th birthday party on June 29, 2004, with some additional recipes. The occasion also honored some Japanese visitors and members of the Nippon 2007 Worldcon bid. The honor was that they got to cook, and we got to eat! Unless otherwise noted, the recipes provided here are adapted from the cookbook cited below. Any can be prepared with ingredients found in large Asian markets. I have tried to suggest substitutes for the more exotic ones, but finding the right ingredients is at least half the fun. It provides an excuse to shop. Thanks to Tamie Inoue for providing the book. Tracy Henry provided three recipes, including one collected by her family in Japan. The notation ” TH ” indicates Tracy’s contributions. I have used “JN” to indicate when I have added my comments to hers. Steve Stiles provided the wonderful sketch for the cover.
