Welcome to a bold new world of possibilities, where time-honoured Japanese traditions meet fearless innovation. In this game-changing recipe collection, Luke Findlay, the mastermind behind the cult-status Supa Ya Ramen restaurants in London, invites you to experiment with ramen in extraordinary ways.

Having discovered Tokyo’s tantalising ramen culture in 2019, Luke became fixated on taking the art of ramen beyond its usual boundaries. His quest began as a small, wildly successful supper club in Hackney, blossoming into two lively restaurants located in Dalston and Peckham. Today, queues form around the block for bowls of his “traditionally inauthentic,” “new-wave” ramen, reflecting Luke’s devotion to radical flavour twists.

Within his debut cookbook, you’ll find detailed insights into each layer of a perfect bowl. From aromatic oils, pickles, and ferments to mouth-watering broths, seasonings, and toppings, every element plays a vital role in achieving the ultimate ramen experience. Luke shares iconic combinations such as the Cheeseburger Mazesoba, crowned with Bread and Butter Pickles, and the ever-popular Celeriac Chashu bowl. The pages also present side dishes, sauces, and desserts, including Hot Honey Drizzle, Classic Chilli Oil, Smacked Cucumber Pickles, and the remarkable Malt Noodle Ice Cream with Miso Caramel.

This cookbook champions unbridled creativity, guiding you through traditional ramen methods while actively encouraging bold experimentation. Luke’s approach is all about celebrating the spirit of ramen and empowering home cooks to reinvent classic dishes with confidence. He proves that ramen isn’t limited to conventional recipes; it evolves with your imagination. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, you’ll discover techniques and tips that unlock fresh opportunities for taste exploration.
