I strive to delve into each of these universes to bring out your favorite hero or heroine’s recipes, or the dishes they could have tried. My work consists of creating a recipe as well as reproducing decorations, putting Easter eggs in the accessories or in the ingredients. With each recipe, my goal is simple: to extend the reader’s immersion in a world they know well with a gourmet dish. – Thibaud Villanova
Cooking in Ghibli in 35 recipes
Those are the editions Hachette heroes who publish this richly illustrated work with the title The Kitchen in Ghibli: Recipes from the Legendary Studio. The photos are signed Nicolas Lobbestael and the book contains no less than 35 recipes inspired by Studio Ghibli’s greatest masterpieces. For example, there is everything you need to know to recreate the fish and pumpkin pie from kiki’s delivery serviceHambagu de pompokoor even the cursed banquet of spirited away. These photos also reveal the Calcifer breakfast of the Howl’s Moving Castlewith fried eggs and grilled breast, all faithfully reproduced.
Because if the films of the Ghibli studio shape the minds above all through the themes they address and their reference to childhood, nature or family, Scenes related to meals are often the ones we remember most. So this book attempts to recreate the magic and dreamlike of these great animated films by combining the useful with the pleasant.
