Let's Make Ramen! A Comic Book Cookbook

Reading about nearly anything in comic form is more enjoyable for me, but this comic book cookbook felt like it could have used the medium to greater effect. It would be a fine cookbook for some, but I was definitely put off by the heavy use of animal products throughout. A bit more about the history and context of ramen in Japan and other countries would have made for a more enjoyable read for me.

I don't really see the added value of the comic book format, which really just means it's illustrated with comic book panel, no comic book characters/dialogue/plot. I'd rather have photos of ramen. But that aside, it's a pretty good background on ramen, the origin and different types, with the usual cookbook stuff about prep, equipment, ingredients. In other words, it's an illustrated cookbook.
