Dw P. (squarespot) reviewed Everybody Loves Ramen: Recipes, Stories, Games, and Fun Facts About the Noodles You Love on + 36 more book reviews
For a tongue-in-cheek cookbook, this turned out to be almost all fluff. Every other page is padded with a recipe journal: When did you serve this dish for the first time? Whom did you share it with?... And most of the 'Ramen Factoids' were stupid: "One pound of ramen noodles weighs the same as one pound of gold. But you can't eat gold." I like silly, but facts like this are lazy. But the book wasn't all terrible. The stories about ramen were fun - college prank type of tales. The title is right: I dolove ramen... just not this book. And, I'll admit, I am keeping it for the recipes.
