Ramen comes in all types and flavors. Most of us now it as something that is cheap and comes in little packets; college kids eat a lot of it, and it’s very easy to make. However, that kind of ramen isn’t traditional ramen that is served in Asian restaurants. Traditional homemade ramen is a delicious dish with lots of toppings. Homemade ramen noodles are often made at home, especially if there is a good cookbook that includes a recipe. One excellent cookbook is Kawaii Café Ramen: Classic, Fun, and Delicious Ramen Meals to Make at Home, by Amy Kimoto-Kahn (bestselling cookbook author and blogger (easypeasyjapanesey ). Kimoto-Kahn takes Japanese ramen to an almost ethereal level.

This excellent cookbook covers everything from different flavored broths, to toppings, and full meal dishes. The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions which make the recipes easy to follow. The author adds little vignettes, tips, and stories at the beginning of each recipe, which gives readers and cooks a look at her cute personality and makes the recipes personable.

While the cookbook does have some photos, they are sort of photo/illustrations, and every recipe isn’t pictured. However, the book is still nice; it would be better with more pictures.
