Product Description

"The Wagamama Cookbook" told the story of the company and was driven by the menu and the specials attached to it. "Ways with Noodles" takes its inspiration from wagamama's core expertise; noodles: how to cook, serve and eat them. Noodles are the fast food of today, the pasta of the 21st century. The distinctive wagamama flavour originates from the traditional 200-year-old ramen (noodle) stalls of Japan that guaranteed nourishment with ingredients to cleanse and nurture the mind and body. Minimum fuss and maximum enjoyment are what wagamama noodles are about. Noodles to soothe, noodles to celebrate, noodles to share, noodles for that impromptu supper for one when nothing else will do. Hugely versatile, noodles turn up in soups, side dishes, as a nest for meat, fish or vegetables, as a bed for curry or in a salad. They can be stir fried or dressed, or poached in a heady broth, aromatics being provided by freshly chopped herbs. And they are healthy too: high in complex carbohydrates, low in fat, while most recipes make much use of fresh vegetables and fish. Brush up on your noodle knowledge and get to know your soba from your somen. Try the mouthwatering recipes, which include wide-ribbon hot-pot with seven vegetables, chargrilled chicken, soba and miso soup, and marinated salmon ramen. Look no further for delicious noodle recipes for every occasion, from appetisers to family meals to elegant dinner party dishes.

Simple, tasty food that's easy to prepare.
This book is even better than the first Wagamama book, as it provides a far greater variety of things to try.

There are plenty of exciting recipies, ranging from easy five minute fare to more elaborate meals. Even the more complicated dishes are easy make however, and the results are always tasty and nutritious.

Whether avid carnivore or veggie, adept stir-fryer or yet to be chopsticked, you will be sure to find something of interest within the pages of this book. There are flavours to suite every palette, and plenty that will take your taste buds in new directions.

Some of the dishes do require a few special ingredients; though none that can't be found with out a little effort, and such experimentation only makes for intriguing culinary adventures.

If you are in need of a solid, speedy cook book that does for both the everyday and added indulgance, look no further. This is an excellent contemporary cookbook, and a great base from which to start composing your own noodle cuisine.

Noodle fans, get this book!

Oodles of Noodles for Everyone!
Wow! What an amazing book! I had my first Wagamana experience on Saturday when I was in Birmigham as we don't have any in Cornwall. The restaurant has been on my "places I must eat in" list and after such wonderful food and service, I just had to buy the cookbook!

Well, it arrived yesterday and I made the Spicy Beef Noodles for Dinner and then made a noodle salad for my packed lunch for work! Roll on lunch time!

It is an amazing book with lots of information and pictures. The recipes are easy to follow and the food that you create is authentic! Some ingredients you do have to look for, but it is worth it! Especaially if you are a foodie and appreciate cooking!

This book would be good for newbies to noodles (like me)!

Buy it, learn to slurp and enjoy oodles of noodles!

Good book but holds a few surprises
I enjoy Wagamama restaurants a lot so brought the book and began cooking some of them, tried about 15 of them so far but I have to admit that about 5 of them seem to be just made up, I followed the book step by step but some of them just do not turn out well, I am really not so sure they spent so long to make the bok, have begun to feel its just a way to make a fast ££££
