"Ramen, in all its many variations, starts out simple. A simple stock, a simple tare, and some simple noodles. It is from these simple roots that home chefs can let their imaginations run wild. Amy Kimoto-Kahn lays the groundwork in the first few pages of her debut cookbook, then gives the home ramen chef enough ideas to satisfy their slurp cravings for years to come." - Brian MacDuckston, Ramen Blogger (www.ramenadventures.com)"The book is full of such wonderful ideas. I salute Amy Kimoto-Kahn! So many different styles and tastes, it's a great way to bring ramen to your table." - Tomaharu Shono, Ramen Creator (menya-shono.com)"Amy was one of my best students, and I hope that her cookbook helps to spread ramen all over the world!" - Sensei Miyajima Rikisai, Miyajima Ramen School (Osaka, Japan)
