Encourages young people to cook

Encourages young people to cook
I really like the approach of this cookbook:• The style is designed to appeal to teenagers/those in their twenties.• It encourages young people to cook with fresh ingredients – it’s cheaper, more healthy and should impress friends & flatmates.• The recipes are good and not complicated.• The author also wrote “A Foodie's Guide to London”, “London's Classic Restaurants”, and “The Food Lover's Guide to Europe”. She appears to have simply teamed up with a Manga illustrator to present it in a young-person-friendly style.Every recipe is presented in the same manner, spread over 4 pages:• 1 page with ingredients.• 2 pages of cartoon (i.e. Manga) instructions.• The second of those two pages always contains a variation to the recipe.• 1 page with a photo of the finished meal/soup/dessert etc.For an example of those four pages, please see photos 1-4. In order not to give away the entire recipe and therefore annoy the author, photo 1 is of one recipe (Shepherd’s pie) and photos 2-4 are of another (Tray Bake Herb Chicken). Photo 3 shows the suggested variation – it is always in an orange text box.The Tray Bake Herb Chicken tastes good and looks good – it is a lot better than what I produced when at university. It should impress others which, as a teenager/young adult, is particularly important.Another recipe that is very impressive is Creamy Garlic Mussels. It tastes good, is quick to make and looks good when served (see photos 5-6 – I have only photographed 2 of the 4 pages of the recipe, again in order not to be unfair to the author).What recipes are included? There’s 17 meat/fish meals, 10 vegetarian meals (including a good minestrone soup) and 5 “sweet stuff” (1 dessert, 2 muffins, 1 chocolate chip cookies & 1 cake). I have photocopied the contents page so you can see what they are – see photos 7-8. All the classics are there such as Spaghetti Bolognese and Shepherd’s Pie as well as some more exotic ones.Sweet & Sour Pork is a student takeaway classic and it’s in here (photos 9-10). I like the way photo 9 includes a “flash” saying that it’s a money-saving alternative to a takeaway meal and it will taste better as it is home-made – it’s an inducement to cook.Photo 11 shows the first and third pages of the (as always) 4-page recipe for Minestrone soup. I like the instructions to season and taste (easy to overlook when a beginner), the ever-present variation to the recipe, and the reminder that you can have this for lunch as well as dinner.I photographed the only dessert in the book (as I don’t call cookies, muffins or cake a dessert) – pineapple with lime and chilli syrup. It looks impressive (my photo isn’t good – too much glare reflecting off the page). Any student served that by a friend or flat-mate would be impressed.Photo 14 is a close-up of a very interesting recipe for a Victoria Sponge cake made in a mug. Photo 15 is the photo, from the book, of the finished cake.The book is slightly smaller than A4 and approximately 1cm thick – see photo 16 (I put a sheet of A4 underneath it and lined them up in the bottom-left corner).I am impressed with it. It encourages young people to cook.

    A perfect first cookbook gift for the young adult in your life who is about to go off into the workd and fend for themselves for the first time. Recipes included are basic but tasty with a nice range. The manga instructions are a nice touch and easy to follow. The dishes I've tried so far have turned out well.

    This is a great cookbook for beginners, with a nice selection of savoury, vegetarian and sweet dishes and the bright colourful artwork will especially appeal to students. The recipes are easy to follow, use cheap and easy to source ingredients and don't take too long to prepare so it'll have you cooking up a storm in no time.

    You'll find recipes for everything from Bolognese, Shepherd's Pie and Macaroni Cheese to Fajitas or Sweet and Sour Chicken, then the dessert section covers cookies and even a mini victoria sponge you can make in a matter of minutes with a mug and a microwave.

    One thing to point out is that you need to read the whole recipe through before starting as sometimes it mentions things later on that would have been helpful to know at the beginning but I can see my nephew getting a lot of use out of this when he leaves home for the first time to start at uni.

    Not just for students, this is an adorable cookbook for any beginner in the kitchen, and it's really unusual too.

    It's a beautifully produced, bright, glossy book filled with cute manga illustrations (including talking vegetables). Each recipe is presented via speech bubbles as the cooks chat to each other in the kitchen. This means it's not always the easiest to follow, but because the recipes are very simple it works okay. At the end of the recipe you get a photo of how the finished item should look, so you don't have to rely solely on illustrations!

    Cute and quirky, this is the sort of book I wish I had when going to university!

    I think the success of a student cookbook lies as much in its presentation as it does in its content and this is a great way to present student recipes. Of course, with this particular book it helps if the student in question is also keen on anime/manga in order to get the most out of it but overall it's a nice simple book for beginners in the art of food preparation.

    Cartoon format aside, it's nicely laid out with a nice mix of dishes that cater to most tastes and are geared towards the budget conscious. Easily replicated meals and most ingredients can be sourced with little problem.

    Good book to slip into a bag as a leaving gift for a new student heading off for the first time.

    This is a fun and simple cook book targetted squarely at young people. With 17 main courses, a further 10 vegetarian dishes and 5 sweet recipes, there is plenty to choose from, and each recipe is walked through in seven Manga style cartoon frames, which are nicely drawn and inject a little humour. All the dishes are cheap and simple to make, and it's clear the meals have been chosen with young people in mind. It's by no means a book of great recipes, but it will give young people a wide range of cheap and easy to prepare meals to choose from, and there's something for almost everyone to find to their taste. Worth a go if you're young enough, but if you're like my mum, you might think that there are no "real" meals covered by the book.

    I got this to try and encourage my daughter who is 13 years old as at the time of writing this review.

    She likes Anime and some manga. She has just been introduced to cooking at her school.

    Within a few minutes of flicking through the pages she had decided what she would like to cook. The simple, step by step, cartoon panels make it a breeze to follow. So far she has done the two chicken dishes, with the spicy one been by and far the best so far.

    There is a good mix of suggestions, from salads through meats, to puddings.

    I hope that my daughter will continue to use it and look forward to sampling more of her cooking.

    My children are both big fans of anime and elements of Japanese culture in general so I thought this book would be an ideal way to get them more interested in cooking.

    The title suggest it is a cookbook for students (i.e. University age children) and I can see a lot of these recipes being a regular staple of their diets if they are lucky enough to go down that route.

    The pictures are fun and colorful and the recipes are great for beginners, no bizarre terminology or an expectation that you will know a variety of cooking techniques before getting stuck in.

    I think I might dig this out next week when the rest of the family is away for a few days. I can't give it any higher recommendation than that!

    Comic books are a rapidly expanding art form and being used for an increasing variety of purposes. Teaching cookery is not an application that one might expect to work but it works surprisingly well. The instructions are simple and clear and the instructions are given in 2 pages of comic style teaching for each recipe, plus one page listing the ingredients and one page giving a large photograph of the finished dish.

    It is a beginner book but the recipes are nevertheless advanced enough to be interesting. For example the pea and ham risotto contains 12 different ingredients. At the beginning of each recipe it states the preparation time, typically 10-15 minutes, and the cooking time. It contains 17 "surf 'n turf" dishes, 10 vegetarian and 5 desserts. There is an index plus a clear contents page.

    I think the biggest problem facing beginners is that they won't stock a lot of the ingredients that most cooks keep a permanent supply of. Glancing at about three recipes gives me this list: flour, mustard powder, oregano, parsley, tomato puree, sun-dried tomato puree, vegetable stock, olive oil, cumin, cinnamon, shallots.

    Overall I am impressed how well put together this is to make an attractive and useful book

    4.0 out of 5 stars Manga in style, not content. Still worth a few bucks.
    Reviewed in the United States on 16 August 2019
    As a passionate fan of things Anime and manga, and already owning Manga University's 3 Manga Cookbooks, I saw this book late one night and on sudden impulse (and partly because the price wasn't a problem), I bought it not knowing what it was but hoping it would be what I was expecting.

    What this is: an easy to follow cookbook whose intended audience is the 18 and up crowd having just graduated high school and going to college, presumably not having any (but maybe a little) experience with cooking. They're on their own and Mom ain't cooking for you. The 'manga' part is the explanations for each recipe which should really help beginners. The book assumes you can at least boil water and can handle a knife.

    What this isn't: the recipes aren't necessarily derived from cherished Japanese Anime or manga. The Korean and Japanese flags on the corner of pages are not an indication of content. They're actually confusing and aren't necessary. You're not getting anything showing you how to make karaage, tonkatsu, udon, or Okonomiyaki. That's from Manga University.

    HOWEVER, the cookbook is still very good. The recipes are promising tasty food and should impress anyone. Some Vegetarian fair and a section of sweets.

    You can tell this was written in the UK as some ingredients needed 'translating:' groundnut oil is Peanut Oil, single cream is Half & Half, plus you'll need to find equivalents for Pappadams, Taleggio cheese, floury potatoes, caster sugar, and borlotti beans.

    Get it cheap and it's not a bad addition to your recipe book collection.
