Home Away From Home is a recipe book produced by Japanese-Canadian seniors of Vancouver’s Tonari Gumi (Japanese Community Volunteer Association). Featuring numerous traditional Japanese recipes, this book is a compilation of culinary knowledge passed on from one generation to the next.

The selected recipe of the day comes from this cookbook. If you like clams, give this one a try.

Farmed clams are a sustainable seafood; you could also try it with fresh clams rather than canned ones.
