Japanese cooking with manga Easy recipes your friends will love!

Alexis Aldeguer

Book - 2018

"Cooking should be fun, and this highly entertaining Japanese cookbook for beginners is packed full of humor and whimsical illustrations. Japanese Cooking with Manga started out as "Gourmand Gohan," a hand-drawn and hand-bound edition that the three co-authors circulated among their friends in Barcelona. Each author has a unique take on Japanese food preparation, but they are all equally passionate about food and how it brings people together. Simple step-by-step Japanese food recipes are accompanied by hand-drawn illustrations and commentary on each page--making this manga cookbook read more like a graphic novel than your average collection of recipes. Information about Japanese culture and traditional Japanese cuisine are p...resented in a charming and accessible way, making learning a new style of cooking as educational as it is entertaining. The colorful manga art and comic-style stories within this illustrated cookbook will appeal to the serious foodie and experimental chef alike."--Amazon.

Review by Booklist Review

"It's really strange that so many people think we only eat sushi," Maiko-San says to her dining and writing companions after they feast on a meal of dumplings, vegetables, noodles, and more in this upbeat and breezy look at the various ways to enjoy and appreciate Japanese cooking. The message resonates with readers, too. While the preparation and history of a number of different sushi styles are covered, the book delves into a wide range of food, from simple starters and vegetables to meats, fish, soups, noodles, and even some decadent desserts. The manga frame surrounds each recipe with a conversation and reminds readers that cooking and sharing healthy, home-cooked food is a fun and social activity. Substitute ingredients are suggested for those without access to specialty grocery items, and the inclusion of dishes with an Italian flavor profile make this a warm and approachable introduction to Japanese cooking and the culture that surrounds it.--Heather Booth Copyright 2018 Booklist
