Manjjitnam’s Otaku Recipe by Chef Jo Gwang-hyo

Have you ever wondered what the food from your favorite manga or anime actually tastes like? Chef Jo Gwang-hyo, the breakout star from the Netflix series Culinary Class Wars (Black and White Chef), brings these iconic dishes from the page to your table.

This cookbook goes beyond simple instructions. It captures the essence of famous scenes, character personalities, and the unique worldviews of various comics. With 30 carefully developed recipes, this book serves as both a culinary guide and a tribute to the stories that inspired them.
