IntermediateGood to know
How long do these take?
Half are done in about 40 minutes. The quickest is around 22 minutes and the longest about 75 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.
Are these authentic Japanese recipes?
No, and we do not claim they are. These are dishes built on Japanese ingredients and technique by the Delicious kitchen, which is why the pages say Japanese-style rather than Japanese. They are written to taste right and to work in a home kitchen, not to be a record of traditional cooking.
How many calories are in these?
Most land between 396 and 1129 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.
Do these come with a grocery list?
Yes. Any recipe here can be added to a grocery list that adds up quantities across everything you have chosen and sorts it by aisle, so two recipes needing onions become one line.
