The food from Studio Ghibli’s ‘Laputa: Castle in the Sky’ now becomes the theme and/or plot of the latest cookbook that Studio Ghibli serves at its table.
The anime universe that renders Ghibli’s fantasy and fairy tales is now projected into a culinary cookbook that inscribes all those illustrated meals that constantly captivate its community of moviegoers. And the fact is that food is a crucial element in each of the animated works created by the cult Japanese studio.
Throughout its sequences, gastronomy is staged in a hedonistic way, bewitching all viewers through epic feasts of jelly, pork roasts, piles of fresh fruit, real-looking onigiris, bento boxes and even fried breakfasts cooked by demons.
That profound effect on viewers is thus immortalized in this new 64-page culinary book that continues the story of the ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ cookbook (2022), and that of ‘Earwig and the Witch’ from April 2021.
In this regard, the work will include recipes for some of the most appetizing dishes from ‘Laputa: The Castle in the Sky‘, such as Sheeta and Pazu’s fried egg with bread and Tiger Moth airship stew; beyond deciphering the original formulas for dishes such as the Air Pirates’ grilled meat skewers, children’s sangria and levitation stone amber sugar.
