Every year since 2021, Studio Ghibli has published an official book immortalizing on paper the entire hedonistic gastronomic universe it projects on screen. This year, the cult Japanese studio has decided to open the year with a new work that focuses on the recipe book of ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service‘.
As a large part of the film takes place in a bakery, the elaborations are mainly focused on pastry products captured through 64 illustrated pages in which a series of simply designed culinary processes are explained.
En el libro ‘Ghibli’s Dining Table Children’s Cooking Picture Book – Kiki’s Delivery Service’, que saldrá a la venta el 14 de marzo en Amazon y en librerías japonesas, contará con recetas de platos de la película como el pan con forma de montaña y bollos redondos de Gütiokipänjä, las galletas compradas por Tombo, el arenque asado y pastel de calabaza, la sopa de leche de Osono o la tarta especial de chocolate hecha por Madame, con las que servir festines épicos con los que hechizar a todos los comensales.

Ghibli’s culinary impact
The study unraveled the online puzzle of why their meals looked so tempting and delicious. And the fact is that his dishes are inspired by the meals that the director of the studio prepares in real life. This was revealed by producer Toshio Suzuki on Twitter, clarifying that all the food options seen on screen, be it herring cake, cakes, ramen or Ponyo’s honey milk, were inspired by the delicious foods that has been cooked or tasted by the creator and animator Hayao Miyazaki himself.
Miyazaki then projects a whole visual language through creative gastronomic exploration, with animations and food with which he expresses emotions such as drama or joy in his films. Illustrations with which he generates impressions from still warm, soft, tender and delicious-looking food that his characters enjoy in different enchanting environments.
