Cooking with the CrunchBros

Synopsis (from Netgalley, the provider of the book for me to review.)
*********************************************************
Enjoy the fun, quick, easy, and out-of-this-world delicious recipes in Cooking with The CrunchBros.

Hundreds of millions of people have had fun watching the playful kid-and-dad duo, Jordan and Jeff Kim—better known as The CrunchBros —make, eat, and enjoy amazing Japanese- and Korean-style meals and treats on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. But the Bros have posted only a handful of recipes online. If you really want to cook and eat like them, you need the easy-to-shop-for, easy-to-make recipes in this bright and colourful book.

Perhaps you would like to introduce kids in your family to Asian cooking in an upbeat, funny, and positive way that will make them hungry, give them more variety in their diet (as doctors and nutritionists advise), and might even turn them into home cooks themselves. If so, this delectable and accessible book is just the ticket.

Or, if there are no kids in your household , perhaps you would just like something more casual and easy to prepare --think “street foods” like skewers and spring rolls, or grazing fare like dumplings or ramen, or a simple, soul-warming miso soup—then you, too, will find in this book tons of fast and comforting recipes for the busy daily whirl.

The Bros serve up healthy and vibrantly flavoured recipes in abundance, from Korean treats to scrumptious Japanese dishes, with recipes such as
• Ramen Salad
• Mochi Pizza
• Spicy Tteok Skewers
• Shoyu Chicken
• Galbi Hamburger Steak
• Misoyaki Salmon
• Macbokki
• Jalapeño Garlic Pork
• Miso Corn
Cooking with the CrunchBros offers a lifetime of enticing treats for diners either young, like Jordan, or grown-up but young-at-heart like his father, Jeff.

A great little cookbook that shows that kids can and will excel at cooking. No recipe is too difficult to make or understand whether you are a kid or an adult. Kids who help prepare their meals are more likely to eat them, too. Highly recommended as it will enlighten and maybe save you ordering in so much! (and because I ADORE Miso!)

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for my copy of Cooking with the CrunchBros by Jeff and Jordan Kim in exchange for an honest review. It publishes October 17, 2023.
I was so excited when I saw that this book was available. I love their videos on Instagram, I love how accessible and fun the recipes are, and that basically any age can cook! This book is a gold mine, and I definitely think this would make an excellent gift for any mini chef in your life!

Easy-to-make Korean and Japanese recipes. These would be great introductions to cooking with kids. A handy glossary at the back explains unfamiliar ingredients.

A great cookbook with lots of ideas on how to introduce your children to cooking. Lots of new recipe ideas and cooking methods are included

Thank you for allowing me to review this advanced copy of this book! I have always wanted to try making some authentic Korean dishes, and this book will help me to achieve that. Since glimpsing through this cookbook, I have found quite a few recipes that I can't wait to make and taste, though they all look mouthwateringly good! They're such a cute family as well, I was entertained just by their family pictures of the children enjoying the good food and preparing the ingredients. I've never watched the CrunchBros videos before, but after reading through the cookbook, I will definitely check their Youtube page out now! If you want authentic Korean/Japanese style recipes, this cookbook is for you, I highly recommend it!

I've never watched the CrunchBros before, but after reading their cookbook, I'm a fan! The recipes are approachable, the layout is clean and easy to follow, the photos are great and I can't wait to get cooking!

I was unaware of the author's YouTube page, so I went into this cookbook without prior knowledge.
The recipes are easy to follow and, I feel, to recreate. The authors talk you through creating these yummy-looking meals, sides, and snacks. There are meals that are very American with an Asian flair for those wanting to ease into the cuisine.
The book also includes a helpful glossary of Korean and Japanese foods.
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to try some if the recipes.
