Discover the Art of Cooking with Ryuji’s Recipe and Talk Book

Trading recipes reveals unexpected “attention to detail” and interesting “tips”
A recipe and talk book created by Ryuji and 16 cooking enthusiasts that will make cooking even more fun!

Ryuji’s wish was to make friends with people who love cooking. A total of 16 impressive members, including popular food experts and food-loving celebrities, will be taking part in the contest. Ryuji will share his favorite recipes with guests. This dream collaboration, where guests create the dishes, has come true!

What I’ve learned through trading is that you can’t learn things just by reading recipes or making them. Extraordinary attention to detail and unexpected tips for each dish.

“80% of the reasons why spicy curry fails is due to improper frying of onions”
“When making a store-bought roux, adding a little sugar will give it a sweet, rich flavor.”
“Potatoes don’t taste much different whether you boil them or microwave them.”
“The way garlic smells is completely different when you start cooking it halfway through than when you start cooking it at the beginning,” etc.

It’s full of amazing ideas that will make even cooking enthusiasts say, “I never knew it was done like that!” You can also refer to recipe combinations, and Ryuji, of course, This book also gives you an insight into the guest culinary experts’ passion for cooking.

A “readable recipe” book divided into three parts: [Recipes][Talk]and[Tips]!

Introduce the dishes to be exchanged [Recipe Part]

In this book, Ryuji makes recipes for his guests, and the guests make Ryuji’s recipes. The book features 32 “special recipes” that the guests exchanged and wanted to make!

Cooking together [Talking part]

The video also includes the conversations they have while cooking together! The conversations are full of little tips that aren’t included in the recipes, such as “how to cut vegetables,” “when to add seasonings,” and “tips to skip steps.”

A summary of the tips that emerged [Key points]

Here are some of the “unexpected tips” that appeared in the recipe and conversation sections. If you check these out when you actually make something, you’ll easily become a better cook!
