...father had said. "You don't know what you're getting into." This time when Paul called, Lewis said in mock seriousness, "Maybe you'll listen to your old man from now on." Despite her vast relief that her husband Barry was safe, Barbara Rosen of Brooklyn echoed a refrain heard often among the other families. "The servicemen who went over in that rescue attempt were the true heroes of this entire Iran crisis," she said, "because they went over knowing full well that they might not come back."

For, as Master Chef and Teacher Shizuo Tsuji demonstrates hi Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art (Kodansha; $14.95), Japanese food at its best is intrinsically austere, as much a matter of balance-texture, flavors, colors and freshness-as anything else. Not unlike Escoffier and the gurus of nouvelle cuisine, the Japanese chef insists: "Let little seem like much, as long as it is fresh and beautiful."
