The Anime Chef Cookbook: 75 Iconic Dishes from Your Favorite Anime by Nadine Estero

5.0

I have to wipe the drool from my chin before I write this review…

This book is YUMMY! Yummy illustrations, yummy backstory, and YUMMY recipes inspired by your favorite anime foods & beverages that always left your mouth watering and wishing for a taste!

Now, with a little preparation, the right ingredients, and the help of this magically whimsical Anime Café recipe book, you can actually bring those flavors and dreams to life within your own home.

This is a book you can eat with your eyes, that brings joy just from reading alone—I absolutely cannot wait to plan and shop for my first recipe. I am going to make the Brown Sugar Milk Tea from My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu and the Naruto Onigiri, as I have been on an onigiri kick this summer! (The boba tea was an obvious yes. It’s boba.)

Such a fun and beautiful book, sure to make your mouth water before you even set foot in the kitchen to make your first recipe. As a Cooking Mama fan, this also fills a nostalgic anime-food-shaped spot in my heart.
