I like that every recipe also tells you how long it will take to make, both in prep time and actual cooking time. As one of the best cookbooks for anime geeks with a taste for green tea, this Lewis Carroll-inspired story will be sure to please. As a baker, I found the dessert section to be the most interesting, but there's a little something for everyone in here. For example, if the recipe doesn’t specify a specific oil, it tells us that we can use whatever our preferred neutral oil is. I made the Tomato Mushroom Soup which was heavenly - eaten with some crusty bread and I cannot wait to make more recipes!

I would not say that this is beginner friendly in terms of difficulty, as there are utensils, techniques, and ingredients used that most would not have in their everyday life.The variety of recipes is excellent and I loved that there was a bento guide as well as a dessert chapter. Those out of the way, this is a fun cookbook with detailed step-by-step instructions for making a variety of dishes from a wide range of (mostly shounen) series. So instead of reading it front to back I just went back and forth between things until I had read them all. Out of the tiny number of cookbooks marketed to anime fans, no existing cookbook offers this many recipes inspired by such a wide variety of anime series and characters. All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you!

I requested and received a free advanced electronic copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point via NetGalley.All this through little tidbits of character facts, food history, and fun recipes for delicious meals. Along with the easy-to-follow recipes are stunning anime-style food illustrations and information about the exact episodes that feature the foods, allowing The Anime Chef to immerse you in your favorite animated worlds while satisfying your appetite. The food in anime can act as a window into Japanese culture and history …’ so begins Cook Anime , which re-creates dishes found in popular anime series like Sailor Moon, Kill la Kill, and Dragon Ball. As a total foodie who always salivates over the food in animated films, I found this to be a very fun and quick read.

A few images depicting the foods are anime-inspired, but many don't seem to have made much of an effort in that regard either.

Re-discover the most essential and popular works of the moment in this collection in the most gourmet way possible, from the One Piece Sanji and Tajiro Curry to the Your Name Dream Souffle Pancakes! I own a lot of cook books and they are all pretty similar and full but this one is amazing I cook things I’d never cook just for the sake of liking the anime, and I’ve started new series just to see the food I’m going to cook!
