Is the ONE PIECE Cookbook any good? 

I have no shame in admitting that Sanji inspired me to cook in a more efficient manner. He’s resourceful and doesn’t let anything go to waste

I actually prefer these kind of cookbooks where the recipes are ones that actually take place in the story rather than just themed, might actually give it a try!

I know they aren’t explored as much in the series, but I wish it had a small section on the drink/cocktails he makes for Nami and Robin! They always look so good.

You don't feed a man dying of starvation anything with too strong a flavor, hence the "easy on the stomach" fried rice meal for Gin.

That meat on the bone was way more creative than I expected meat on bone to be

That mean in bone recipe was pretty wild. I never would have expected an entire hard-boiled egg was stuck in the middle like the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop. It's really cool that they incorporated the food from the manga and the food photos were really good.

we need a spinoff where Sanji just teaches us how to cook😭

Sanji is the reason I became a chef. Literally talking about reducing waste before it was trendy.

I hope we get a big cook book when the show ends or after he finds the all blue.

The fried rice not being too salty actually sort of makes sense, wouldn't wanna give a starving man something with a lot of kick and spice after all :p

I like how this explains how Luffy is still healthy. Chicken is a good diet food, and eggs are very nutritious. Along with carbs to help brain function, although Luffy doesn’t have much of that.

Bro if sanji had his own cooking show that intro would be PERFECT

Considering these recipes have to appeal to children, as well as adults, I can definitely understand why they'd go for more mild flavours.

They can actually make a book on every crew members like an archeological book for Robin, or a book of medical first aid for chopper etc.. Edit: Thanks for the likes never knew this many people will appreciate a simple thought.

Most of sanji's cooking is lacking flavour as you said because his whole thing in the beginning was to cook well despite lack of material so he tried to keep the seasoning to a minimum

I like how niche it is but the presentation makes it so much better than it has to be. It’s a bit more “artbooky” but those recipes still look so good and worth trying

I think it makes sense why the recipes are so simple. Sanji always makes it a point to be sustainable so he tries to do the best with as little as possible. I didn't even know this cookbook existed so thank you😊

Its a bit weird the One Piece world, which is so strange, has such reliable food.

I recently fell down the One Piece rabbit hole to the extent that I made a dinner inspired by one of my favorite duos: Salmon onigiri (after Zoro's favorite attack move and presumably snack) with miso eggplant (after Zeff's hilarious nickname for Sanji). So fun to know this exists, and that I could expand on the idea!

I love that you not only show how to make the foods, but also show you tasting them, and you don't have to scrub through a 30 minute video to find the moments you're looking for!! Perfectly formatted cooking video, 16/10 will be watching again 👌

Hey I actually have this cookbook, had preordered it as soon as it was announced. Mostly got it as a collection item bc I love love Sanji. Worth it just for the artwork for me. ❤️ Glad the recipes seem promising with a bit of personal tweaks!

"Son of a judge" made me laugh more than I should. And the tips at the end are pretty good, for what I get its a good start especially for cocking to people you are not that familiar with, but can be made to have more kick to it by getting heavier in the seasoning

what I like about some of the recipes is, that for a seasoned cook, there is a lot of inspiration from the simple recipes that can be improved and tweaked. Loved the meat on the bone idea they look epic and can totally tweak this to be hugely better.

You know, when I was younger I tried season my dishes with seasalt. It was a real hassle to get the clearest water near Teneriffa but since my vacation lastet for one more week I could evaporate the water with a makeshift aluminium foil sun grill. Sanji did not exaggerate how good clean sea salt really is.

Putting an egg inside the drumstick was a really creative way to make it look more like the real deal 😅 Unfortunately I'm not the biggest fan of eggs, especially hardboiled ones, but I might make an exception for this

You earned my like at 0:43 “Stylin’, profilin’, cigarette smokin’, meal cookin’, kiss stealin’, a$$ kickin’, son of a Judge”😂 P.S.: WOOO!

i like how Sanji makes it less Salty and more health friendly than what you adviced but overall Im sure it tastes good

The meat on the bone recipe really reminds me of a lot of high class medieval European cuisine. They loved stuffing eggs into meat, meats into other meats, and forming foods into interesting shapes or to look like other kinds of food. All that's missing is a seasoning of a bunch of seemingly random spices and a ton of cinnamon.

I think they give you some nice room to play with different flavors that would suit your personal taste like you said that marinating the chicken would boost a step up in flavor and adding double everything in the fried rice I think that's the room they give you to personalize the recipes loved the video great stuff man sanji is my favorite character on the show.

I think one of the reasons for lack of extra spices could be that they are pirate dishes so everything is used sparingly or they don't get a chance to buy stuff often being out at sea so the dishes are based on what they would have available. Either way I love the recipes as a good foundation and of course because of it being one piece

I want this even more knowing that the dishes have mild flavours for the kids. They'll have fun looking at the cute illustrations too, tho it'd be indeed infuriating to read those tiny texts lol.

The authors of the cookbook and the ones who made the recipes did a great job making the food look as good as it does in the show

Omg there is actually an official Sanji cookbook?! I always wished one would exist and you trying out a few recipes out of it, so this was a double surprise :)

This is a pleasant surprise. I randomly came across the cookbook while looking around Amazon. Thought it was a fan made thing and not official.

I love this review. You clearly like the source material. The actual book is descent, but as you point out: Those are basic recipices with basic seasoning; so your approach of: Try it and adapt: That is the magic of cooking :-) So, the recipies being allmost over simplified is a theme so that anyone can adapt it. Seeing differences between manga and anime leans into the theme.

When i was younger, the idea of "aging" the rice probably crossed my mind 2 or 3 times. I used to think the Chinese chefs somehow masterfully cooked the freshly steamed rice. Now i see the "aging" is more common than i realize, lol.

“Spoiler alert i over cooked it” as an average home cook I felt that. Especially with fish.

Genuinely, this is my favorite cooking channel on RU-vid. I have a hobby of collecting silly cook books, and I love seeing new ones.

When the big mom arc hits you so hard in the feels your write a whole book for Sanji

I just found your channel and I’m already obsessed. Your energy and this series combined make me so hungry and inspired to try these myself Absolutely my comfort channel already

A scotch egg drumstick, gotta admit that's something out of left field. The fried rice is simple but it would've been awesome if they added some of the ingredients seen in the anime, but beggars can't be choosers. The fish dish definitely looks the best.

the harmony in the intro was **chefs kiss**

Oda is genius!. He create a pirates life story but also think this all recipes from their chef that you can cook at your home, named it and also what detail ingredients.

This means Oda put a lot of thought in every single details of One Piece world building that otherwise people usually ignore. Truly, One Piece, one of the best fantasy pirates world if not the best

This makes me want to at least try to make these myself. Also, "Double the ingredients" means the spices, not the rice. You don't need more rice (or more egg really) when doing up fried rice (and maybe add a bit of garlic to it, as it compliments scallions/green onions well)

For me, I would prefer a recipe from a cookbook to be under-seasoned than over becase I know to add more for next time instead of less and just have to guess how much less.

Thank you for this!! I wasn't sure I was entirely clear on how to shape the chicken and this took the stress and doubts away! You're the best!

Very good review 😊. I saw the opener and knew I had to watch till the end. I will now be purchasing this item, thank you very much

I recently caught up to the one piece manga so the timing of this couldn't be better, super stoked and cannot stress enough how much I adore your channel!!

I remember seeing the rice in the anime, it looked amazing and I always wanted to taste it. I'm glad to know it lives up to expectations.

Omg the intro song! What a bop 🎶 I got one of your videos recommended now I’m binge watching them all. Awesome content!

This video is so fun! Thank you for making it!

This book is for amatuer who loves to cook for themselves. Its affordable, simple, and collectibles too. It fits for me, i love to cook a bit but only simple dishes, loves to collect OP stuff and a fan of Sanji 😂

From the intro song to the slowly turning pages to the individual recommendations while cooking, I loved every second of this video. Instant subscriber material

For the drumsticks, I think they'd be way better if you made half-boiled soy marinated eggs like they used in ramen, and put them in fridge-cold so they don't cook the yolk much more. That would keep them moist and add a punch of flavor.

Love your videos, one of these days I’m gonna sit down and follow a recipe. Just looks so fulfilling.

I just bought the book :)

This is so cool, definitely worth a purchase imo the chicken hard boiled egg recipe is kinda crazy lol

Bro I just fell in love with your channel, you're such a chill cool person, you've taught me so much about food. I've also been following along so I can actually feed myself real food, so thank you and keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more.

First video I’ve watched from you, and it was solid. Like your stuff!

I love your drawn-on Sanji eyebrows 😂 Also, I really like the graphic design/presentation of this cookbook. It just looks so fun and pleasant!

love this channel man. honestly becoming one of my favorites

As someone who owns the book and been cooking these meals. Yes they are good. 😎

I just came across this by chance and this is so amazing 🤩 I have been a fan for 20 years and looking at this video brings me back to the childhood days ❤

Fantastic video! I love how much time you spent showing how great the art was in the book, and your honesty in the flavor profiles.

Production quality is through the roof in this one!

The artwork taking so much space is actually a selling point for me! I think you make a great point though. This isn't a normal cookbook, based on size alone. I found this interesting!

This is incredibly insightful! I’ve struggled with cooking myself, and was looking for a way to introduce myself to it that would be simple and effective! Sanji happens to be my favorite character of all time, so of course I couldn’t miss this! At first glance I wasn’t sure what to think, difficult or not difficult? This review really helped me understand it more! Thank you!

I get that they made the recipes simple so that any fan could make it, but I kind of wish they make one where they consult with world class chefs to make dishes with the same tools that sanji would theoretically have. I wouldn't mind tougher recipes for more canonically accurate tasting foods. Sanji is supposed to be an incredible cook after all. Or maybe everyone in the One Piece world has a bland taste pallette 🤷🏾‍♂️

Probably my favorite video from you so far The intro was very pleasant, especially as a one piece fan

Another awesome book and review!

Thank you for this review! I really enjoyed your video

As someone who grew up working kitchens and spending half my days at high school learning to cook Sanji is such an awesome character to see in One Piece. I love pretty much everything about his character. The cigarettes(chefs/cooks know, lol), not using his hands in fights, his passion for food and feeding those who are in need. It all comes together perfectly and he feels very genuine. Also, the Barates arc was awesome and I loved the interactions between chefs, one of my favorites.

First time watching one of your vids, big fan of how honest and sceptical you are of your own creation, even if its by a cookbook. Highly appreciate straight up true opinions than "oh my god its so good" :D

You obviously know how to cook.👌🏼 great add on ideas for each recipe.

Great video, loved it 😃

Hands down the best cooking channel on RU-vid. You’re the only one I can actually watch. I am like praying you do the Supernatural cookbook.

Digging the intro Miso, keep up the awesome content, I never miss a video

Love the intro song! Also you're great cook too!

My husband bought the book and use the curry recipe ALL the time. It's so good

I only made the Fried Rice for Gin. I agree, very mildly flavored. Next time, I would add garlic and some seafood to match the anime. Thanks for the review!!

ooo loved this detailed review! cant wait to get my own copy of the cookbook now :')

thats the kind of videos i like to see on youtube thank you

This looks so awesome, i think i will buy one. Drum sticks looks really good it definitely can be tweaked and flavours can be enhanced further.

Am a cook so Sanji is my favourite character in the one piece anime he's the coolest character for me can't get enough of his cooking skills scenes it motivates me alot

I bought the cookbook for my boyfriend a year ago and just now gifted him it, but I’m the cook in the relationship so I wanted to see how these recipes would work out. Thank you for this video ❤

I wanted to buy this for my uncle since he loves one piece and sanji is his favorite. This was such a helpful video

I like the idea of books having descriptions and stuff from the characters feels like you got something FROM the world

I didn’t think fried rice was so simple to make. I’ve got to try making that later. Thank you 👍.

This was one good review, love it so much. And yes every person had their own refine taste, so i prefer to enhance the quality of the recipe so it will better suit 'for myself'.

Subscribed as soon as I heard that intro 🔥🔥

this is absolutely amazing

The meat in a bone is pretty challenging to make, at least for the first time, but it's worth it. I'd kill for these! I also made Blackbeard's cherry pie, which I also enjoyed (I don't even like cherry). And the pumpkin juice, which was a total flop. If anyone knows how to make sweet foods from pumpkin, advise, please. It's also really odd that that's the only drink in the book.

Just got my copy today! Can't wait to try these out😁 the fish dish looks tasty😋

Man, this is cool! Thanks for making these! I love One Piece

Love the channel name, fun play on words! Subbing for that and this based video.

I completely agree with what you said about the white pepper. I only discovered it a few years ago when i started learning more recipes but i find i vastly prefer it to black pepper. It has the warmth of pepper but it doesn't have the sharpness you get with black pepper. it's much more mild and I've found I much prefer that

I’ve been borrowing stuff I learn from Sanji’s cooking and I made my food taste better

Ok this is my first time I watched you and that intro made me sub god that is a banger

yo this was a great review, thanks!
