Naoko Takei Moore advocates for the widespread adoption of *donabe*, traditional Japanese clay cookware, in her new publication, “Simply Donabe.” Moore champions the versatility of the clay pot, suggesting its use extends beyond traditional dishes to encompass a wide range of cooking applications. The book aims to demonstrate how *donabe* can enhance the flavor and quality of everyday meals. Moore is described as an enthusiastic proponent of this cooking method. The publication signals a growing interest in traditional Japanese cooking techniques internationally. *Donabe* cooking is presented not as a niche practice, but as a potentially transformative element for home cooks.
