Okay this is great if you’re interested in the food you see In anime or just interested in making a new cuisine. I do feel like that could’ve been more illustration of the steps and not I just of the food. I know people who love anime who would love to have it and I would recommend it to them. I can’t wait to make something from this especially the cat onigiri.

This was a great cookbook that had beautiful illustrations. I love the idea of cooking food from anime shows. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to make the recipes, but they were written in a way that was easy to understand and clear in the steps. The downside is that there are no photographs of the food and any steps in the process. As someone who might not cook a lot of Japanese food, some techniques are new to me, and I bet a lot of readers. I wish the book had step-by-step photos to help and maybe final pictures of what the receipt should look like compared to the illustration. This cookbook was a great idea but a little lacking in execution.

Have you ever watched characters from your favourite anime stuffing their mouths with a delicious snack, and you wished to be able to grab it through the screen? Well, with the help of this cook book, you can cook that yummy food in your home.

The book is divided into four parts: appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks; the last two being my favourite. There are recipes that are popular and you can see them in all types of Japanese media, and recipes that are unique, iconic for the specific anime. Every dish has a box with an anime it is from, and in what season and episode you can see it. I found a lot of my favourites, including many Ghibli movies.

The illustrations are beautiful and the whole design is easy to navigate. Recipes are easy to follow.

Mouthwatering fun for Anime Fans!!!

75 ICONIC Dishes from Your Fav Anime The Anime Chef Cookbook is just dreamy. Even if you are not into cooking it was so fun to check out how some of the recipes from popular anime are made. The recipes seem rather easy and not too challenging. If you are a Studio Ghibli fan, Dragon Ball Z or My Hero Acadamia fan you are sure to enjoy this cookbook. I was enamored by Howl's Breakfast Plate :)

Grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point, Rock Point.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC. #netgalley #theanimechefcookbook

I had a good time reading this book. I'm not super familiar with anime I'm just starting to get into it a little bit. So some of the stuff kind of went over my head. As I understand it someone was telling me that this might be better suited for someone who's familiar with the anime. But it's still a great cookbook. I don't think I could cook any of the stuff in there right now but maybe sometime down the road. Illustrations we're cute too.

I absolutely love the concept and execution for this cookbook. This is filled with food from all of your favourite anime's with mouthwatering photos and a mix of beginner to hard recipes! Each recipe states which season/episode the food is featured in as well as giving a description of what the anime is and the scene with which the food is featured. I also loved the small touch of adding food related quotes from these anime's!

Under each recipe it is broken down / organised in the following categories:

Serving size
Prep time
Marinate time (If required)
Cooking time
Special tools (if required)
Ingredients (divided into respective segments e.g. fillings, toppings, assembly)
Steps

Some of my favourites that I will be attempting to make are: Cat Onigiri (Fruits Basket), Cheesy Potato Pave (Godzilla Singular Point), Tofu Steak (Restaurant to Another World), Lemon Sour (Mob Psycho 100 II).

This would make the perfect gift for any anime lover!

The concept of this cookbook is very cute, featuring memorable recipes from anime. It's not the greatest cookbook for beginners, but this would make a great gift if you're trying to get an anime fan into cooking. If you were considering this for an anime fan who already has a cookbook collection, I would skip it.

I really enjoyed looking through this cookbook. The instructions were written very clearly and I liked that it broke down the prep and cooking time in each recipe. They also put the ingredients and tools into categories for each component of a recipe (ex. Ingredients for a cake would be grouped together and ingredients for the cake filling would be in another group). There were also often alternative cooking methods and tips suggested in recipes, such as how to cook the recipe on a stovetop instead of on a grill.

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.

Many of the recipes also had wonderful hand-drawn pictures of the finished recipes. I do wish that there could have been more pictures that would have illustrated how to do some of the steps in the recipes.

Overall, it was a fun cookbook to read and I'm already considering purchasing it when it comes out.

Big thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point and NetGalley for this ARC.

To know anime is to know about the AMAZING foods that they show. I have often found myself thinking I wish I could cook this or that! This cookbook was a wonder journey into how to make a lot of dishes that I have lusted over for so long. I cannot wait to try all of these.

and much more!

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 Chef to immerse you in your favorite animated worlds while satisfying your appetite.

As a huge anime fan, I love all the recipes from the shows and movies. I am so pumped to cook the studio ghlibi recipes and share this book with my otaku-loving friends.

This is such a fun idea for a cookbook!

Any anime fan knows that food plays an important part in any story and this wonderful cookbook shares 75 recipes for you to recreate what you've seen in your favourite shows and films.

The instructions are clear and has a description of which series or film features the meal for reference.

There is a fantastic variety of dishes for all cooking abilities, my personal favourite Howls Breakfast plate from Howls moving castle.

My only slight criticism is I would have liked to see even a small photo of the finished dish although I do appreciate why the author has shown a cartoon version instead.

A great gift for any anime fan.

Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC for an honest review.

Very cute manga style pictures with some fun recipes. It would be nice if some real pictures were included every so often through out the book. Show what the more fun looking ones would actually look like. It would still be manga cooking because it would be an item that seems impossible due to being manga but is actually doable.

The Anime Chef Cookbook is absolute perfection! The recipes are easy to follow and so delicious. I made the Tomato Mushroom Soup which was heavenly eaten with some crusty bread and I cannot wait to make more recipes!

Thank you so much to Nadine Estero, Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point, and NetGalley for this lovely ARC!

This is the most adorable cookbook I've ever seen.

The ilustrations are so cute and the recipes are very interesting. I'm super new into the anime world, so it was also a nice way to get to know some new shows. I liked that the author actually gave us an intro about the recipe in the episode and the steps are very clear and well explained.
I definitely marked a couple of recipes to try and my anime watchlist grew a bit.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for sending me this ARC.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I have become more and more interested in anime and I love Japanese food but have only tried American Japanese food. This was a good read!

What a cute cookbook! My daughter loves anime and I requested this so we could try some recipes together. This is right up her alley. Ramen recipes are our favorite. There is an extensive section of dessert recipes which we still need to dive into but there’s so much fun to discover in this book. Love the quotes and drawn illustrations throughout. This is a fun gift for an anime lover.

Set out really well and easy to follow.
Love that it tells you which episode inspired each dish too!
Cannot wait to make more from the book!
So good if like me and my fiancé you love anime and Japanese inspired food!

What a fun cookbook. I have watched a lot of the same Anime and have only dabbles in that genre. So I geek a lot of people can connect. I love the pictures as I won't buy a cookbook without pictures. I really enjoyed the show review that when with the meal as well as the season amd episode. So people could go back and watch it whole theu ate if they wanted. The onlybissuebI saw is a lot of smaller towns will not have all the ingredients to make the meals.

This was such a cute cookbook! I loved the attention to detail that Estero gives to all the recipes, particularly with the illustrations and the references to which episode of an anime that the recipe came from. The instructions were very clear, and even a novice chef/baker could follow along with the steps that are laid out. I also appreciated that Estero divides the ingredients up between sections of the recipes, and that she will specify if the recipe requires special equipment in the ingredient list. I feel like a lot of anime cookbooks can be gimmicky and not take the recipe or fandom seriously, but Nadine Estero did a great job of translating recipes from the screen to the page, and making sure that they could be executed well in real life.

This is an adorable and exceptional cookbook giving us recipes from popular anime shows and movies. There are recipes for the classic shows and movies as well as the current anime.

The pictures to go with the recipes are charming. They are drawn in anime style! Also, some random quotes from the shows are throughout the book.

There are some recipes that will require special tools to make the recipe. However, there are some tools that have substitutions if you can't find the tool you need. For example, the Karaage To-Go recipes calls for "wooden tooth picks". You could just use forks if you wanted.

Thank you #NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for sending me the ebook for #The AnimeChefCookbook by Nadine Estero.
