Book Reviews of 101 Things to Do with Ramen Noodles
Book Review: Recipes Unimaginative or Bizzare
Summary: 2 Stars
I have tried a few recipes involving ramen noodles that were really great, so when I saw this book and the reviews, I thought this would contain 101 great recipes. However, for having so many recipes, I found this book to be rather unimaginative. Many of the recipes involved tacking on ramen noodles to traditional recipes, or substituting ramen for another kind of noodle. More still seemed to be similar with slight variations or even just bland combinations of ramen with different kinds of canned soup. I don't need a recipe book for that! Any attempt at being creative seemed like strange, unappetizing concoctions. Simple, or "basic" as other reviewers have mentioned, does not have to be so boring.Book Review: The Popcorn and Ramen Noodle Diet
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is perfect for the low budget group that just moved out of the house and is looking for things to eat that are cheap and easy. (As a decent cook of many years, some of the recipes did make me gag, but I'm not the audience for this book now, am I?) The recipes are surprisingly creative and, in reality, a lot of people do love ramen noodles. accompaniment to this book as a housewarming or graduation gift for a young friend or relative. Everyone who's ever lived on a tight budget - and probably with at least a couple of roommates - has experienced the popcorn and ramen noodle diet, a chapter in the survival of the fittest (and most broke)! 50 Ways to Leave Your MotherBook Review: Makes ramen bearable
Summary: 4 Stars
This book covers salads to deserts and everything in between. Most of the dishes make about two servings which is great if you're a college kid on a budget. Not good for dieters. One recipe calls for an entire cup of mayonnaise and some others are heavy on butter. Most of the recipes call for the use of ramen salt as well, upping the sodium and calories in these dishes. Some dishes are a hit or miss.The recipes are very basic, which I look at as a plus because it leaves lots of room for experimentation. I recommend this book to inexperienced cooks looking for bargain meals.Book Review: Great gift for college students
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book for my 18 year old college bound niece. She is a freshman at Loyola Marymount in L.A. and is on her own for the first time. I sent this book and a case of Ramen through Amazon to her at school. She loved the book and said 99% of the recipes are really simple and actually taste great. There is Parmesean Noodles, Alfredo noodles, mexican spaghetti and a chocolate crunchy noodle recipe. This is a definite buy for any college student or anyone looking for affordable ways to make meals, considering Ramen is like 10 cents a bag.Book Review: Great ideas!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has some great ideas on using ordinary ramen from simple to sophisticated. You have to watch the calories/fat on some of these recipes though. I made the "Chicken Alfredo" recipe and it called for one cup of butter and one cup of cream! That is overkill for 2 packages of ramen! I made a skinny version of the sauce instead. Other recipes like "Garlic Shrimp 'n' Veggies" are very easy and much healthier.
