Here is something to tell your anime/manga patrons and in particular One Piece fans. Shueisha, a Japanese publishers, is releasing a recipe book inspired by Eiichiro Odo’s manga One Piece. The book will be entitled One Piece Kaizoku Bento Book and will sell for a suggested 1,380 yen or $18.00 in U.S. currency. If they have any friends in Japan or one of the Websites that sell Japanese anime/manga items might get this book for them to purchase. It would be a unique piece for thier collection and it would be fun translating the book to make the recipes.
Anime Recipes Being Translated
We reported before about http://www.animeshi.net/ a website that has recipes for dishes from anime shows. The site is now starting to translate the recipes into English. So if you didn’t want to use your translate feature on your computer, this will make it easier for you. Go about midway down the page and on the right hand side you will see a box for English recipes. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for the update.

Pictured above is the Herring and Pumpkin Pie from Kiki’s Delivery Service. If you go there you will need to translate the recipes into English.
