As a college student, Eric Hites learned just how far he could stretch a dollar by combining a package of ramen noodles with some odd ingredients out of his nearly bare kitchen cupboards and a little imagination. Living on a tight budget, Hites and his friends spent many nights of fun, laughter, and experimentation figuring out how they could concoct original, cheap yet tasty meals from the only food they could truly afford: ramen noodles.It later occurred to Hites that he should collect and compile the recipes he and his friends had had so much fun inventing. Everybody Loves Ramen is filled with 50 innovative recipes-from Stroganoff Ramen Style to Easy Cheezy Ramen to Elvis's Fav' Gravy Ramen-as well as "ramen factoids," funny stories, games, and puzzles all related to our favorite low-cost snack food.Everybody Loves Ramen will make the perfect gift for a high school graduate, college student, single friend living on a tight budget, or anyone who, like Hites, remembers the days when a package of ramen was haute cuisine. Told in a humorous style, Everybody Loves Ramen will be both a cookbook and a book of fun.

Summary: Not so great
Comment: I bought this book thinking it would be fun. I know how to cook and can easily concoct my own recipes, so I wasn't looking for something that would teach me how to cook. Actually, I think this book is designed precisely for that group. I was expecting some really novel ways of using these little noodles, but I was disappointed.
If you don't know your way around the kitchen then this could be a great buy for you.

Summary: Surprisingly Good Recipes
Comment: Ramen may just be the perfect food - cheap, filling, and tasty. This small cookbook includes 50 recipes that incorporate the noodles. The recipes run the gamut from soups to salads to stir-fries to a burrito. I've made several of these recipes and have been very pleasantly surprised by how good they taste; I particularly like the Pseudo Szechwan Ramen recipe. Another plus is that many of these recipes do not use the ramen seasoning packet for flavoring, which is great given its extremely high sodium content.
I've always liked ramen and have often made up my own recipes by adding some veggies or cheese. However, these recipes are a step beyond anything I've ever created with ramen. The only problem is that some of the recipes call for either a relatively long list of ingredients or use an ingredient that the average person is unlikely to have on hand, such as Szechwan sauce or gorgonzola. In particular, many of these recipes would not be good for the college ramen crowd, as they're not necessarily cheap.
Ignore the cutesy format, especially the lame "games," and this cookbook is a winner for ramen fans.

Summary: Simple and Good
Comment: Ignore the games. Ignore the cutsey stuff. Most especially ignore the "journal" parts. (I don't know about you, but I don't need to keep a diary of ramen moments!)All this aside, please go ahead and buy this book. The recipes are simple and good.
