Luscious Capetown Blog, Sonia Cabano, May 2014
“Jane Lawson is an Australian chef, publisher, cookbook author and superlative blogger; an indomitable traveller, most frequently to Kyoto and Japan where she conducts culinary tours and a most accessible person on social media. And her recipes work, believe me.”

Daily Telegraph Travel – Escape, October 2014, by Grant Jones
” ‘Kampai’ is one of the first words you should learn before heading off on this culinary tour of Kyoto. It is the Japanese equivalent of ‘cheers’ and tour guide Jane Lawson, author of Zenbu Zen, the story of finding life balance and the restorative power of Japanese cooking, is committed to your leaving the journey filled with it.”
“Jane, a former publisher whose books included Peter Gilmore’s Quay and Luke Nguyen’s Songs of Sapa, provides an intimate look at the traditional and modern world of Kyoto from food markets and the extraordinary food halls of the finest department stores, to restaurants immersed in the authentic ways of the past and contemporary Kaiseki dinners cooked by hot young chefs. The Journey is not just about eating but includes a look at galleries, temples, shrines, gardens and local craft stalls in Arashiyama, Higashiyama and Ninenzaka.”
