Gohan by Emiko Davies takes out top cookbook prize

Smith Street Books are delighted to announce that Emiko Davies’ Gohan has won the prestigious Fortnum & Mason Cookbook of the Year, as well as the André Simon Special Commendation at ceremonies in London last week.

‘An exquisite but refreshingly down-to-earth guide to everyday Japanese and Yoshoku (think East meets West) cooking, with recipes that inspire and invite.’
—Nigella Lawson

‘A lovely book, sincere, personal, and full of grace and beauty. It also makes Japanese cooking accessible.’
—Diana Henry

Publisher Paul McNally says: ‘We are absolutely thrilled that Gohan has been recognised and rewarded. It’s a great testament to such a brilliantly talented author as Emiko Davies—and the incredible team who put this beautiful, heartfelt book together.’

Author Emiko Davies comments: ‘Gohan means so much to me and, more than anything, I hoped it would mean something to other people. I wanted Gohan to become part of their everyday cooking. This is a dream come true.’
