Amy Kaneko is an American home cook and mother who spent 2 years living in Japan with her Japanese husband. Under the tutelage of her mother-in-law and Japanese friends and family, Kaneko, who has worked in the cookbook publishing industry for 20 years, decided to take what she had learned and share it with Westerners unfamiliar with what Japanese people really eat at home. She has lived in Tokyo, New York, and San Francisco, and currently lives in Boulder, CO with her husband and bilingual teenage daughters.
