Sakuteiki makes sense to me as a cookbook-adjacent obsession

I trust cooks who care about the room, the garden, the table, and the feeling around a meal, not only the recipe itself.

That is why Sakuteiki still makes sense to me here. It is not a cookbook, but it does seem connected to the same instinct: arrangement matters, atmosphere matters, and the things around a meal shape the meal too.

I like books that widen the frame a little. This one sounds like a quiet, useful obsession.
