Synopsis (from Netgalley, the provider of the book for me to review.)
*********************************************************
Enjoy the fun, quick, easy, and out-of-this-world delicious recipes in Cooking with The CrunchBros.

Hundreds of millions of people have had fun watching the playful kid-and-dad duo, Jordan and Jeff Kim—better known as The CrunchBros —make, eat, and enjoy amazing Japanese- and Korean-style meals and treats on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. But the Bros have posted only a handful of recipes online. If you really want to cook and eat like them, you need the easy-to-shop-for, easy-to-make recipes in this bright and colourful book.

Perhaps you would like to introduce kids in your family to Asian cooking in an upbeat, funny, and positive way that will make them hungry, give them more variety in their diet (as doctors and nutritionists advise), and might even turn them into home cooks themselves. If so, this delectable and accessible book is just the ticket.

Or, if there are no kids in your household , perhaps you would just like something more casual and easy to prepare --think “street foods” like skewers and spring rolls, or grazing fare like dumplings or ramen, or a simple, soul-warming miso soup—then you, too, will find in this book tons of fast and comforting recipes for the busy daily whirl.

The Bros serve up healthy and vibrantly flavoured recipes in abundance, from Korean treats to scrumptious Japanese dishes, with recipes such as
• Ramen Salad
• Mochi Pizza
• Spicy Tteok Skewers
• Shoyu Chicken
• Galbi Hamburger Steak
• Misoyaki Salmon
• Macbokki
• Jalapeño Garlic Pork
• Miso Corn
Cooking with the CrunchBros offers a lifetime of enticing treats for diners either young, like Jordan, or grown-up but young-at-heart like his father, Jeff.

A great little cookbook that shows that kids can and will excel at cooking. No recipe is too difficult to make or understand whether you are a kid or an adult. Kids who help prepare their meals are more likely to eat them, too. Highly recommended as it will enlighten and maybe save you ordering in so much! (and because I ADORE Miso!)

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto publishing group for access to this Arc in exchange for my honest review.

I didn't know about the crunch Brosnan but now you got a new follower ! This book was so nice, such a family feeling to it. I love the recipes and the photos made me drool over them. There are quite a few I want to try ! I just wish there was a recipe for tteok so I can freeze my own. If you love Asian food (korean/japanese), this book is for you.

I loved how approachable this cookbook is, especially for those who are no familiar with Japanese or Korean flavors. The recipes are fun, easy, and delicious.
