ReviewsThis Japanese cookbook is heavily illustrated in a Manga style and began as a hand-drawn, hand-bound edition circulated among the three coauthors' friends. -- Publishers Weekly , "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." -- Booklist, ...a cookbook that home chefs with any level of skill can use to explore Japanese cuisine alone or with a crowd. Each recipe is accompanied by notes on Japanese culture and traditional preparation, along with manga-style drawings that make Japanese Cooking with Manga as enjoyable as it is functional. -- Book Riot , 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.
