THE MANGA COOKBOOK WITH BENTO BOX SET

Food appears frequently in Japanese comics, but what exactly is it that the characters are eating? The Manga Cookbook is the world’s first manga-style cookbook, an illustrated step-by-step guide to preparing simple Japanese dishes using ingredients found in every Western kitchen, and now it comes packaged in a deluxe gift set, complete with a Japanese-style “bento” lunch box and chopsticks emblazoned with the official MangaUniversity logo! Learn to identify and make the same things you see in all your favorite manga: authentic onigiri (rice balls), yakitori (skewered chicken), oshinko (pickled vegetables), udon (Japanese noodles), okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pizza), and many others! Includes sections on how to assemble bento boxed lunches and properly use chopsticks. All recipes were tested extensively by a team of culinary experts, including certified nutritionist Yoko Ishihara, to ensure they are kid-friendly and safe to make with little or no adult supervision necessary. Features original manga illustrations by Chihiro Hattori, whose credits include the award-winning Kanji de Manga language-learning series.
