Synopsis
Reading manga sure can make a person hungry! Food appears frequently in Japanese comics, but what exactly is it that the characters are eating? "The Manga Cookbook" is an illustrated, step-by-step guide to preparing simple Japanese dishes using ingredients found in every Western kitchen. Learn to identify and make the same things you see in all your favorite manga: authentic onigiri (rice balls), yakitori (skewered chicken), oshinko (pickled vegetables), udon (Japanese noodles), okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pizza), and many others! All recipes were tested extensively by a team of culinary experts, including certified nutritionist Yoko Ishihara, to ensure they are kidfriendly and safe to make with little or no adult supervision necessary. Comes packaged in a deluxe gift set, complete with a Japanese-style 'bento' lunch box and chopsticks emblazoned with the official Manga University logo!
