Get cookin' with Pokémon

Make ramen the way Pikachu likes it

Although some Pokémon antagonists would prefer a book about the slaughter of the cute, fuzzy creatures, the owners of the anime and gaming trademark would rather show them in a better light by presenting a cookbook called, "The Pokémon Cookbook: Easy and Fun Recipes."

Arriving on Dec. 6, in time for the holidays, the cookbook contains delectable and inventive recipes inspired by the best-selling Pokémon characters. Fans can create dishes that look like their favorite Pokémon characters — from desserts to pizza — with more than 35 fun, easy recipes. Make a Poké Ball sushi roll, Pikachu-style ramen or mashed “Meowth” potatoes, among other recipes.

Pokémon is a force in both anime and video games and has millions of fans worldwide.
