The Anime Chef Cookbook: 75 Iconic Dishes from Your Favorite Anime

Product Information

When I take look to this cookbook with all infograpic about 75 Iconic Dishes from Your Favourite Anime, that bring so much warm and nostalgic feeling on me. I am not good at cooking but recipe at this book will tempt everyone (not only anime lover) to trying make some decent Japanesse homemade food. I really enjoyed looking through this cookbook. The instructions were written very clearly and I liked that it broke down the prep and cooking time in each recipe. They also put the ingredients and tools into categories for each component of a recipe (ex. Ingredients for a cake would be grouped together and ingredients for the cake filling would be in another group). There were also often alternative cooking methods and tips suggested in recipes, such as how to cook the recipe on a stovetop instead of on a grill. There was a great variety in the recipes – some of them were quite simple, others were a bit more complex. Some involved common ingredients found in any grocery in the USA, others (ok, most) had some Asian ingredients that might be harder to find outside of an Asian grocery store (or the internet). Some were very appealing to American tastes, others had a definite Japanese flavor (tuna meatballs in orange sauce?).

The instruction sheets also have a little graphic in the middle that lets you know how many servings the recipe will yield, how long prep will take, cook time, and other misc things such as how long to marinate if that is necessary. Some recipes include tips, or quotes from the anime featured. Some of my favourite animes that are included in this are Haikyuu, Howl’s Moving Castle, Yuri On Ice, MHA, Demon Slayer, Ponyo, Violet Evergarden, Jujutsu Kaisen, AOT, Tokyo Ghoul, Spirited Away, Arrietty, Tokyo Revengers, Kakegurui, Ancient Magus Bride, Mob Psycho 100, Totoro, and When Marnie Was There. Bring your favorite anime foods to life with 75 recipes-- from traditional Japanese favorites to inventive recreations-- that are easy to make, fun, and delicious. Somehow I misunderstood when I requested this book and thought that it was more about food drawings, so I was a bit surprised when I discovered that it’s a real cookbook. There is quite a wide range of recipes, from appetisers to mains and desserts and drinks. Unfortunately it’s NOT vegan/vegetarian friendly at all, but I know I can’t expect that of every cookbook I read.

I loved the inclusion of the visual explanation for dumpling folding. There’s a great selection of appetisers, main dishes, desserts and even drinks. I love the illustrations of the foods as well, they all look so tasty! There were a lot of animes mentioned that I haven’t seen and/or heard of and based off the food, I might add them to my neverending ‘to watch’ list. One thing I really appreciate is that the ingredients lists are done using both the US measurements and metric units. For example, if it says you need 2 cups of something, it will also list what that is in grams. It definitely makes this book more international friendly. 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.
