Thanks to #WorkmanPublishingCompany， the authors and #netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in advance in exchange for a honest review。I loved this book。 A great balance of recipes and information for those who love noodles （so so much more）。 From the title， I expected only Asian recipes but was pleasantly surprised to find other recipes as well such as Pumpkin Sage Lasagna。 So many great recipes and hints on how to get the best from your ingredients and proper equipment to use。 This b Thanks to #WorkmanPublishingCompany， the authors and #netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in advance in exchange for a honest review。I loved this book。 A great balance of recipes and information for those who love noodles （so so much more）。 From the title， I expected only Asian recipes but was pleasantly surprised to find other recipes as well such as Pumpkin Sage Lasagna。 So many great recipes and hints on how to get the best from your ingredients and proper equipment to use。 This book has instantly become a reference book in my house。 。。。more

I was so excited to get an early read of this book。 A book about Noodles and I was imagining all the different pasta creations I would be making。 Sadly， I was a bit let down because it was not at all what I envisioned。 True， there's a lot of delicious-sounding pasta in here， but many are hard to make。 There are so many ingredients that would be hard to find at a local grocery store。 Many of these pasta recipes were heavily Asian influenced， more so than Italy。 This is a gorgeous book and there a I was so excited to get an early read of this book。 A book about Noodles and I was imagining all the different pasta creations I would be making。 Sadly， I was a bit let down because it was not at all what I envisioned。 True， there's a lot of delicious-sounding pasta in here， but many are hard to make。 There are so many ingredients that would be hard to find at a local grocery store。 Many of these pasta recipes were heavily Asian influenced， more so than Italy。 This is a gorgeous book and there are photos of each recipe， which I love。 I really appreciate it when cookbooks have pictures since I'm a visual person。 Will this be a great gift for a college student or beginner？ Nope。 This is more geared to those who want to experiment with many flavors and ingredients than the average noodle dish。 I would love to try so many of these if someone else was making them for me！ I just don't have the time with a toddler to try involved recipes。 I want to thank the publisher， Workman Publishing Company， for providing me with an e-ARC to review。 Thanks to Netgalley as well。 It has in no way influenced my opinions。 。。。more

This is too big， unfocused， and specialized to be useful to most home cooks。 Covering both Italian-style and a huge variety of Asian noodles， there's too much。 When a cookbook prefaces a recipe to warn that it needs specialty ingredients and has numerous time-consuming steps， then you know it's going to be unrealistic。 The number of recipes of the "spent my entire Saturday cooking this one bowl" make this a cookbook no one could actually cook their way through。The cutesy， pop-inspired recipe nam This is too big， unfocused， and specialized to be useful to most home cooks。 Covering both Italian-style and a huge variety of Asian noodles， there's too much。 When a cookbook prefaces a recipe to warn that it needs specialty ingredients and has numerous time-consuming steps， then you know it's going to be unrealistic。 The number of recipes of the "spent my entire Saturday cooking this one bowl" make this a cookbook no one could actually cook their way through。The cutesy， pop-inspired recipe names and hokey writing will make this age super fast。 For a fun noodle cookbook， start with Let's Make Ramen！: A Comic Book Cookbook instead。 。。。more
