Best-Ever Homemade Ramen

“An ideal and fun resource for family cooks and professional chefs wanting to create authentic and delicious ramen based Japanese meals for both formal and informal dining.” —Midwest Book Review“Takanashi writes with authority and enthusiasm, and the recipes are brief, to-the-point, and user-friendly, written without any major gaps or shortcomings. Takanashi’s voice is cheerful and direct, and he adds legitimately helpful collections of tips to most of the book’s recipes. And while the book isn’t particularly long …it accomplishes its mission, which is teaching the American home cook how to make legit ramen at home.” —The Cookbook Test blog
