The third Wagamama cookbook has 70+ recipes and many photos. Many recipes are vegetarian/vegan, and there’s also some gluten-free ones. Other recipes can often be changed into one or more of these three types, and there are dots on the recipes that already are such. Recipes are generally meant for 2, which I liked. At the start is the ingredients list (incl. some swaps).
I’m not listing any recipes this time, but many or most of the recipes were something I would eat (nut allergy permitting; and not liking seafood). There were plenty of sauces and marinades towards the end of the book, too, that I found appealing. Plus there were recipes for vegan kimchi, bao buns, and gyoza wrappers.
This book mentioned occasionally their own sauces available in stores (but of course this is relevant only to some readers). 3.5 stars mainly because it felt like this was the ’and the rest’ sort of recipes collection, though the spirit of the text was positive. So not absolutely necessary, and the other two work better, yet there were gems within that made it all worth it.
