Book Reviews of The Manga Cookbook: Japanese Bento Boxes, Main Dishes and More!
Book Review: BUY THIS BOOK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book on a whim at Anime Expo. I've read recipes before on making Japanese food, and generally thought, well, that's nice, but it's a lot of effort. After getting halfway through this book in one day, I went shopping and tonight I have umeboshi onigiri made with sushi rice in my fridge, a bento for my lunch tomorrow and have finished a dinner of karaage. This book is PERFECT for the beginner, especially those introduced to the delights of Japanese food through manga or anime. It makes everything simple enough to dive right in and enjoy the delights of Japanese food in your home. The authors have made a real effort to adjust things to American kitchens and measurements. It's even an entertaining read. I can't wait to get through the second half of the book and see what I'm making later this week!Book Review: Cool Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great for Manga/Anime lovers & anyone who is just learning Japanese cooking. It has easy to follow recipes and it has plenty of pages in the back of the book for people who might add different ingredients to a recipe to fine tune it to there liking. And a must have book for cookbook collectors.Book Review: Cuter than cute
Summary: 4 Stars
This is probably a better book for those younger cooks out there interested in making bento or highly popularized Japanese cooking. It's simple and the manga style cartoon instructions are easy to follow. I would have preferred more realistic pictures or photos of the food to better guage proportions but it was a cute read nevertheless.Book Review: Excellent beginner book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this book because I want to begin to make bento lunches.
This book not only has colored photos of the bentos, but very detailed instructions (in English) how to cook the foods necessary to make the cute little lunches.
If you are just starting out and are intimidated by the other books that don't contain written cooking instructions, buy this one first.
You'll learn the basic cooking techniques for rice, eggs and other foods, Japanese style.
Book Review: Fantasic
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is fantastic, wonderfully written, animated, and the meals are fantastic to boot! Cute, fun, and delicious. Now, to find a bento box to bring with me into the office, Pokemon, or Digimon?
