With colder temperatures, fall produce, and the need for delicious food for daily and holiday eating, I delved into 'Noodle Soup'. This is a wide ranging book, with recipes, techniques and commentary. I tested several of the recipes and found them to be a wonderful addition to my range of home-cooked foods. I really learned so much about noodles, ramen, flavor, techniques and how to make the best darned noodle soup there is. This book gave me confidence that I could not just make soup or noodles, but that I could make the best soup and noodles that my family had ever tasted. 5 Yums from me!

The book has delicious recipes that are easy to prepare. However, this book is not an ordinary cook book. This book contains history and cultural background explained and applied to the recipes which is amazing!

Like ingredients thrown in a pot to boil a tasty broth, this was a tasty mashup of history, journal, and recipes. As a ramen fanatic, I loved reading the background of humans' relationship with noodles over the ages. I also enjoyed the recipes across the world, though the formatting felt more conversational than usefully instructive. One thing's for sure: this book made me hungry!

Noodle Soup is my go-to comfort food. Udon is my favorite. I was very excited to see this cookbook.

For a cookbook, there is a lot of time spent on exploring the worldwide history of noodles. Recipes are from North Dakota , Tibet, Peru, Morocco, Italy, Singapore, basically everywhere. Techniques are exhaustively explained. Photographs are provided. This is a Noodle Soup Textbook. Only, replete with humor.

I liked the photos and explanation of adding dehydrated vegetables to noodle dough. I loved the advice about cricket flour noodles. I loved that there is a recipe for Uyghur Laghman. This is definitely not a vegetarian cookbook, but there are some meatless recipes.

This is a very funny, encyclopedic, practical, well written book. I loved it! Would make a great gift for food historians, cooks, and foodies.
