Amazingly detailed

Great cookbook. One of my favorite things is a lot of the recipes use the other recipes in them. You could learn to make bread and then use it to make a sandwich. Her recipes are well written with clear instructions and documentation. The bright and cute illustrations are a welcome addition and really tie the theme of anime cookbook together.

Beautiful book!!!

I usually don't write reviews but I had to leave one as this is the most stunning and visually pleasing books I've ever owned. With it's stellar presentation, this is a must get for anyone who loves anime or those who enjoy cooking as this book contains a wide variety of recipes from desserts to appetizers to full on meals and plenty more. Whether you're an experienced cook or have little to none, the steps in this book will easily guide you through the entire process making it feel a breeze to get through. And getting the chance to see these iconic dishes in person is really really cool as they are an accurate representation of what you see in the shows! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!! It's so much fun and can't wait to see what's next from this author!!!

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this cookbook! The details were amazing, especially the drawings which was the reason I bought it haha! I initially found Nadine on Instagram and it was nice to find out she was publishing a book!
I'm fairly new to cooking/baking, so this was a new challenge for me but I did much better than expected! I followed her Kiki's cake recipe and it was delicious! The only thing I would request to add is actual in real life photos but other than that, it's perfect!
I truly believe that Nadine worked hard to make this cookbook happen, and I can see it! I love it, thank you so much!

My kid loves anime and cooking (he's 20) and within 1 day of having this book decided to make us all a dish from it! Mission accomplished: getting my adult child to cook for us LOL 😆

TEENAGER LOVES IT....

Anime. Food. Of course, my son loves it. His dream is to be a Chef. Also, he has AUTISM, so in combination with that, I am always on the lookout for easy-to-understand material that can be challenging enough for him to learn from but straightforward enough for him to enjoy and want to continue referring to when it comes to his cooking time.

This is a great cookbook with an array of both common and unique dishes. The pages and illustrations are fun and vibrant. Each recipe and set of instructions are fully comprehensive and easy to follow. 75 dishes to create!! I mean that's thorough. This book makes him want to try almost everything in it...we don't even know where to begin. Introducing each recipe is a little tidbit of what Anime this particular dish comes from....and at the end of each recipe is a quote from that Anime. I think that's a great feature because it helps to discover new Anime that you didn't know prior to this book. It's probably my son's favorite feature.

The entire book is of good quality. The pages feel nice. The illustrations are what really make this cookbook stand out. Anime is immensely popular...at least it sure is in my household. Design and format are creative.
