The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Moves On To Cooking
If only I could instruct various ingredients to assemble themselves into yum-looking dishes like this with a wave of my magic wand! (Hint, hint, Xmas wish list: MAGIC WAND) Saw these at the plastic food model store where I learned how to make tempura and lettuce last December. And in case you’re wondering about the one in the middle, rice mixed with a raw egg is to Japanese children what Lucky Charms are to American kids.
If you’d like to visit Kappabashi Street or make your own plastic food models the next time you’re in Tokyo, a map is on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Wuugghh… I never could take the raw egg stuff. Can you? I don’t even know if eggs in Canada are OK to eat raw!
