The Anime Chef Cookbook: 75 Iconic Dishes from Your Favorite Anime

Product Information

Food in anime always makes me drool and so did each recipe in this book which is inspired by a scene from an anime. With each recipe you will get a short telling of what happened when the food from this anime was served, making it a nice way of remembering your favorite anime and even getting inspiration to watch the ones you haven't seen yet. Food plays an important role in anime, whether it is briefly shown in a slice-of-life scene or the entire plotline of an episode or even a series, and popular anime food creator Nadine Estero (@issagrill) has perfectly captured these favorite food moments. In The Anime Chef Cookbook, she brings 75 appetizers, mains, desserts, and drinks from the screen to your table so that you can enjoy the same foods as your favorite characters, with recipes including:

After the instruction sheet there is artwork of the food. I do wish they had also included a picture of what the food looks like in real life, as having that side-by-side would be interesting to compare, helpful, and I prefer to have a real life visual of what it should look like when finished.This is a personal preference though.The end of the book is an index so you can search recipes by ingredient.

There is a wonderful range of both traditional and unique savoury and sweet dishes. I definitely appreciate Estero’s focus on creating visually cute or stunning food with innovative flavours. Appetizers include After-Practice Nikuman (fluffy pork buns), the interesting Tuna Meatballs in Orange Sauce, and the fascinating Paprika Seafood Caesar Salad. Memorable mains include the decadent Lobster and Shrimp Risotto, a traditional Spinach Cheese Quiche, and the adorable and novel Pikachu Curry made with apple vegetable curry and an edible seaweed and cheese Pikachu decoration! You can make delicious desserts like Kero’s Purin (Japanese custard pudding), the too cute to eat Panda Shaved Ice Parfait, and Kiki’s Chocolate Cake. Decadent drinks include Hot Buttered Rum Cow, and Senku Cola (livened up with cilantro!). You can even learn to make your own cute towering Totoro Latte Art! Somehow I misunderstood when I requested this book and thought that it was more about food drawings, so I was a bit surprised when I discovered that it’s a real cookbook. There is quite a wide range of recipes, from appetisers to mains and desserts and drinks. Unfortunately it’s NOT vegan/vegetarian friendly at all, but I know I can’t expect that of every cookbook I read.Some of my favourite animes that are included in this are Haikyuu, Howl’s Moving Castle, Yuri On Ice, MHA, Demon Slayer, Ponyo, Violet Evergarden, Jujutsu Kaisen, AOT, Tokyo Ghoul, Spirited Away, Arrietty, Tokyo Revengers, Kakegurui, Ancient Magus Bride, Mob Psycho 100, Totoro, and When Marnie Was There. The book is separated into sections: appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and drinks. There’s also a list of tools and ingredients that one will need to make all the recipes found in the book. The ingredient list is pretty nice and explains what each item is and specifies the type to buy if it’s not specified in the recipe. For example, if the recipe doesn’t specify a specific oil, it tells us that we can use whatever our preferred neutral oil is. After the introduction there’s a detailed list of kitchen tools and ingredients that you might not usually use, but will need for the recipes in this book. There is an explanation given for each one, which I really appreciate.

Along with the easy-to-follow recipes are stunning anime-style food illustrations and information about the exact episodes that feature the foods, allowing The Anime Food Chef to immerse you in your favorite animated worlds while satisfying your appetite. I really like the layout of the recipes. The author includes the anime title, season number, episode number and even episode name of where the food is from. They also include an explanation of what happens in the episode and how the food is involved. The author gives really detailed and precise instructions for how to carry out the recipe which is very easy to follow. The author also includes quotes from many animes throughout, corresponding to the foods from said anime.

Each recipe also had a blurb that talked about what anime was the inspiration for the recipe and the specific moments in the anime that the recipe comes from. I also enjoyed the wide variety of anime that recipes were inspired by, from more well-known anime like Studio Ghibli films, One Piece, Pokemon, and Fruits Basket, to anime that I hadn't heard of. I loved the inclusion of the visual explanation for dumpling folding. There’s a great selection of appetisers, main dishes, desserts and even drinks. I love the illustrations of the foods as well, they all look so tasty! There were a lot of animes mentioned that I haven’t seen and/or heard of and based off the food, I might add them to my neverending ‘to watch’ list. One thing I really appreciate is that the ingredients lists are done using both the US measurements and metric units. For example, if it says you need 2 cups of something, it will also list what that is in grams. It definitely makes this book more international friendly.
