The Unofficial Studio Ghibli Cookbook: 50 Delicious Recipes Inspired by Your Favorite Japanese Animated Films (Gifts for Movie & TV Lovers)

Product Information

Spirited Away is the highest-grossing film in Japanese cinema and is the only non-English film to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Since 1985, Studio Ghibli has enchanted moviegoers with fantastic stories of adventure, magic, friendship, family, and most of all—the most delicious-looking animated food. Most Studio Ghibli films consist of hand-drawn animation, and Miyazaki himself hand-drew the water in Ponyo. However, computer animation was used in some of the films to enhance particular scenes. Earwig and the Witch, directed by Goro Miyazaki, the son of Hayao Miyazaki, was the studio’s first full-length computer-generated imagery (CGI) movie Featuring recipes such as the sumptuous bento from My Neighbor Totoro, the herring and pumpkin pie from Kiki's Delivery Service, the red bean buns from Spirited Away, and more, Studio Ghibli: The Unofficial Cookbook is a must-have culinary tribute to Studio Ghibli’s greatest masterpieces! SKEWERS: Japanese kitchens contain an assortment of metal skewers that are used for grilling vegetables or meats. Even though you can use bamboo skewers, metal ones are a good investment as they retain the heat and keep your food warmer longer. This book is not associated with or authorized or approved by Hayao Miyazaki, his publishers, or Studio Ghibli. The Unofficial Studio Ghibli Cookbook, by Jessica Yun, Ulysses PressThis book did not offer the art or lore and merely provided a slight nod to various stories of Studio Ghibli ahead of each recipe. Everything looks delicious and the recipes are clear and easy to understand, even for those who aren’t experienced with Japanese cooking. FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS: Easy-to-follow recipes and everyday ingredients make this the perfect cookbook for beginner and experienced chefs alike And to my two late grandmothers, who both loved to cook—they would be proud of my debut cookbook.

It is typically served with deep-fried foods to counteract the greasiness and can be simmered with other ingredients to make an amazing one-pot meal.I prepared the "Japanese Cream Stew" from The Secret World of Arrietty and the "Smoky & Sweet Yakitori" from Pom Poko.
