In Tajfuny we have many cookbooks, which we recommend for their variety of recipes or stunning photography, but we haven’t had such an accessible, colourful cooking comic book on our shelves before (although we do have Samotny smakosz, a manga focused on food!)
In this book you will find 40 full recipes, as well as detailed step-by-step instructions for preparation of every necessary component. A illustrated story of this dish will put you in the right mood and make you hungry, and the detailed introduction will explain everything you might need to prepare the perfect ramen – from kitchen equipment through Japanese ingredients to appropriate drinks to have with a bowl of soup.
Of course there are recipes for stocks, tare, and toppings, but also there’s a wonderful chapter on noodle-making at home, which you won’t find in most books (there’s even a trick to how to substitute lye water which gives the noodles their signature chewy texture). The meticulous illustrations are accompanied by titbits, shortcuts making the ramen-making process easier, and well as technical details of the cooking processes, which make using this book a real pleasure.
