A Bessatsu of Leisure: Enjoying Khmer Cuisine with Gentleness
Contents of this book
This is a preserved edition of Cambodian home cooking recipes supervised by Maki Asami (Wagokoro Cafe Kizuna, Miyagase, Japan)!
Khmer cuisine has such power that it slowly cheers you up from the soul. Whether it is meat, fish, vegetables, or handmade seasonings, the sense of oneness felt when everyone eats together with a sense of the importance of life.
Herbs and spices are used in just the right balance, and while energizing, they are not too stimulating and are gentle on the stomach. It is also gentle on the soul.
Here are five recipes from Cambodian home cooking.
The book also includes the latest Cambodia report by Maki Asami, recipe supervisor; an essay on food by Iwashi Kyasetsu of the comedy duo Niboshi Iwashi, winner of THE W 2024; and a paper on the history of cultural exchange and thought by the philosophical comedian Mother Terasawa!

Biography of Asami Maki, Supervisor
Born in Kagoshima Prefecture and raised in Wakayama Prefecture. She currently runs a restaurant by Lake Miyagase with her husband and a travel agency that introduces the area. She is also the representative of a non-profit organization that supports education and living environment in Cambodia and other countries. Her special skills are driving and garaging a car, cooking, and English conversation. Through cross-cultural exchange, I would like to create a world where people can share their warmth with each other regardless of nationality, gender, or age. We are working every day to be a part of that.
