The first time I'd read a comic cookbook was in January 2018 - Robin Ha's Cook Koran! So Eater mentioning it, here, kinda gave me a little bit of a kick - https://chicago.eater.com/2019/7/30/20747337/lets-make-ramen-comic-cook-book-sarah-becan-hugh-amano-ten-speed-press

And there's a nice review in Chicago Tribune - https://www.chicagotribune.com/dining/recipes/ct-food-lets-make-ramen-comic-book-cookbook-0710-20190710-5bkbid2oxnempf4ot7c7ysyyla-story.html

We wanted to keep it simple for ourselves, so we decided we'd each do one or two elements. And it worked out wonderfully! Shriya made two kinds of broths - a shio broth and a miso broth. Swapnil made the pulled chicken and the chashu pork belly. I made some Ajituke Tamago. I also made some wheat noodles. I had a packet of no MSG, no onion, no garlic, fully vegan noodles from Umai Crate. I also had a bunch of things to add - nori and wakame, carrots and cucumbers, bacon, togarashi (that a friend who visited Japan brought me) and plum pastes (another Umai Crate delicacy). And then we mixed and matched and made our own ramen bowls.

It's not often that I love cookbook meets this much. I never insist on a format or program to follow. But this was the FIRST time EVER that people spoke about how they made something and actually ended up talking about the time and ingredients that went in. It made me mighty happy. And to be very very honest, if folk who are genuinely interested are like this, bring them on!
