Gave this to my daughter for Christmas along with a basket of ingredients to make some of the dishes. She LOVES this cookbook. Noodles are easy to make and the ingredients in the book are not too hard to find. The recipes that my daughter has tried she absolutely loves. Great book for a beginner to try Japanese noodle dishes.-Julie G.
This is a great cookbook with a wide variety of recipes. In addition to great Japanese noodle recipes the chicken Yakitori recipe has become a standard that I make frequently. The recipe for braised pork belly is also excellent, and something I've repurposed in a lot of other recipes. Since this is a Japanese cookbook you'll have to find some ingredients that aren't common to most grocery stores, although I found that Asian markets around me carried everything I needed (most ingredients are also available online). I've started keeping Dashi and Kombu around the house all the time, and they've become regular ingredients in my cooking. All in all a great book! -Lifefirecook
Nicely written and illustrated book for the Asian hobby chef. The text is easy to understand and you know what your dish is supposed to look like when served. While not always attainable the presentation of the noodles can be your goal. Many Asian cookbooks either require exotic ingredients not readily available or feature presentations only Iron Chef Morimoto could design. Takashi's Noodles provides recipes that the hobby chef can manage, presentations that can be your goal and a nice variety of noodle dishes.-Michael C.
