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!

I love how there are so many foods from SO many different animes!
I'll be working my way through all of them.

This is such a beautiful, well thought out book! The illustrations are lovely, the recipes are well thought out and easy to follow and there’s lots of variety! Honestly this is the perfect cookbook for an anime/manga lover and I can’t wait to try making some of the recipes!
11/10 definitely recommend!
