The manga cookbook ebook

I was looking for a certain book then found this one, it turned that it's a cute one and made me remember a Japanese movie I watched two years ago full of food and luv! Dec 13, Margoe Littlepants rated it it was amazing. What a fun way to learn a little about Japanese food and culture. I can't wait to make cute bento lunch boxes! A must have! Finally I can make all the things I have read about in my manga!

Also interesting facts. Recommended to any otaku who likes to cook! Dec 11, Marissa Maddox rated it liked it Shelves: graphic , cookbooks. Not exactly what I was expecting, but a very cute read nonetheless. Jul 02, Dave rated it liked it Shelves: cookery. Cute cookbook drawn in Manga style. Has some basic Japanese cookery and how to construct Bento Boxes. Probably would not have purchased for full price. Mar 26, Kat rated it really liked it Recommends it for: manga fans, bento lovers.

Shelves: young-adult , childrens , books-i-own , cookbooks. It reads like a graphic novel, with manga characters Miyuki, her boyfriend Hiroshi, and their pet Coo guiding the reader every step of the way.

The book covers several categories of Japanese cooking, e. Noodle soup, sushi, pork cutlet, riceballs and animal-shaped sausages are some of the recipes included. In addition to the recipes, the book starts off with basics of Japanese cuisine, including how to use chopsticks and how to set the table for a Japanese meal. Several blank pages toward the back of the book are reserved for your own notes.

As it's geared mainly toward manga fans, The Manga Cookbook shouldn't be taken as a serious cookbook. Rather, it's a great way for kids, teens and adults to learn how to prepare basic Japanese recipes one might find in manga and anime. This book isn't meant for those looking for ways to cook fancy meals, but it's just right as an introduction to the fun of cooking Japanese.

Miyuki and her adorable mascot, Coo, walk the readers through each recipe. Most of the recipes are easy to follow thanks to the illustrations. I now have the, perhaps misguided, feeling that I could actually make the egg buddies tamago tomodachi. Notes after many recipes are filled with interesting bits about the history of Japanese cuisine, ingredients in Japanese food and current customs in Japanese homes and restaurants.

Grab a bento box and fill it up with some of this delicious and attractive food.

These are easy recipes simplified for Americans who might not be able to find some of the odder ingredients. Each step has images to show you what you should be doing. The problem is One recipe doesn't tell you when to add the sugar you can tell by the picture thankfully and calls the Teriyaki sauce in the ingredients list soy sauce in the cooking steps.

Another doesn't mention water as an ingredient but says you need some in the recipe thankfully with a specified amount.

Also, the order isn't always clear when it comes to steps or what speech bubbles go with which steps. I'm a little disappointed. The recipes are super simple, but with the typos and missing pieces it's probably not good for beginners. May 05, Terry rated it really liked it.

The recipes mostly look like they could be done by teens, though I didn't try any out. I liked the appetizers the best, because you could make cute looking food. I enjoyed the fact that the characters who took you through the recipes were done manga style, though the book was written in regular left to right format, rather than the manga right to left.

I found this while looking for something to help a schoolteacher friend who needed simple recipes to prepare with her lower-elementary students.

They all know manga, they've all wondered what a riceball is really like, and wanted to try them. The recipes are simple, well-explained, and the ingredients are inexpensive.

Nov 03, Aisha Cartwright klein rated it it was amazing Shelves: bento. This cookbook is super cute and most of the recipes are pretty good to eat. I've tried out gyudon, which I love, tamagoyaki, and karaage. And I'm thinking about trying out the soboro bento and the okonomiyaki next. All in all, this is a good cookbook to start out with if you want to know about Japanese food and bentos. Feb 04, Salsabrarian added it Shelves: middle , reader , ya , non-fiction , cookbooks , manga. Took a glance through this out of curiosity.

Appears to be a friendly intro to Japanese cooking and cuisine. Parental guidance will be necessary for several recipes, including understanding some of the instructions which were vague to me. But color pictures of the recipes will help kids figure out what stuff is supposed to look like.

This is a really cute cookbook. I like how the steps of the recipes are illustrated and explained in a way that children can understand them. I also like the notes at the end of most of the recipes because they tell a little bit of history of the dish and how it fits into Japanese culture. I really want to try some of these recipes and hope I can find all of the ingredients. The Manga Cookbook also includes sections on how to assemble bento lunches and properly use chopsticks, and everything is cleverly illustrated by award-winning manga artist Chihiro Hattori.
