Ramen-topia : all the secrets to preparing the world's best ramen

For anyone who loves ramen so much that they want to try making it at home, this book is a must-have.

A staple of Japanese cuisine (so much so that it even has its own emoji 🍜), ramen consists of a noodle soup topped with various ingredients: eggs, meat, seaweed, and vegetables, not to mention toppings (scallions and sesame seeds being the most popular); a true delight with endless variations, depending on your tastes and preferences.

This small, illustrated guide provides an educational overview of the different types of ramen (tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, and shio) and immerses you in the world of ramen (or rather, the broth) through 60 recipes that include classics but are always paired with original twists (we’re particularly fond of the squid ink shio ramen).
Bonus: variations are also offered to accommodate specific dietary needs (vegan broth, gluten-free noodles, etc.), and a glossary explains the basic ingredients (for example, do you know what mayu is?).

Let yourself be guided by the vivacious Deborah Kaloper, the California-born author now based in Melbourne, where she puts her talents to work as a chef, food stylist, and culinary writer (she’s published several books of this kind on the most popular dishes: pasta, pizza, tacos…), and her faithful sidekick, Australian illustrator Alice Oehr, whose colorful style never fails to tempt us. A dynamic duo that really knows how to rock… but with style!
