The Rose of Versailles is a manga I really like - one of the first I ever read. I talk about it here (http://fajrdrako.livejournal.com/tag/rose+of+versailles). It's the story of a girl who became captain of the guard at the court of Marie Antoinette - all very swashbuckling and romantic.
It's not a cookbook, just a two-volume manga set. And I'm not sure how Renato noticed right off that it was Japanese - perhaps because the author's name is Riyoko Ikeda? Or because he recognized the manga style of art?
