This is the cutest recipe book I have ever read. The layout is immaculate. The artwork is stunning, the instructions are so easy to follow. This is a top tier fun nerdy cookbook that would look just as good on your coffee table closed as it does open on your counter making the food. And where do you even begin. I want to make everything. How this book was created makes everything look and sound so appetizing. I just cannot stop gushing about this book. I have to get a copy for my niece, she will love this.

This book was provided by NetGalley but all opinions and reviews are my own.

This was such a cute book! I've always been a fan of Ghibli movies - and specifically foods and drinks in them - so these illustrations are a real treat! A lot of the recipes seem perfect for summer, lots of drinks and yummy sweets, so I'll be trying a few in the next months. First one on my list would definitely be coffee jelly and the Strawberry brick toast!
This is a book I'd like to have on my shelf though, a physical copy, because it would be such a comfort to flip through it and get ideas for some treats for your friends..

This is a cookbook. It is a cookbook about anime food. It is a cutely designed anime cookbook. It is a anime styled anime food cookbook.
Cute, lovely book. Yum.

This is the most charming cookbook, from the recipes by popular Instagram creator Nadine Estero to the adorable illustrations by Jana Paynor. I've always been fascinated by the food shown in anime, the whole cozy cuteness of it all that always looks like the manifestation of love.

There are fun recipes from well-known movies like the honey-milk from Ponyo and peach buns from Spirited Away, and others from specific episodes of series like the mont blanc cupcakes from an episode of Tono-Chan is a Girl. Each recipe has little notes explaining the context along with the sweetest colorful illustrations of what each should look like finished. I will absolutely be making the Sadist Bunny Parfait from Blend S, with a cayenne strawberry sauce that goes over a complex sundae type dessert.

I love the whole design of this book; it's just so aesthetically pleasing and well thought-out.

Thank you so much to Rock Point and Netgalley for this ARC!

This is a cozy anime lovers dream!
I was first intrigued by this book seeing that there was Studio Ghibli inspired recipes included, and ghibli food has always looked divine. Not only does this cookbook give so many fun recipes to try inspired by well loved anime’s like Sailor Moon, One Piece, and of course Ghibli, but it gave me so many new anime’s to watch as well! I think it’s so much fun to make food to go with a show. That’s my kind of Friday night! Really appreciated how easy to follow the recipe instructions are as well. Manageable even for a very beginner cook like me!
