Ramen Book (sopuli.xyz)

I am looking for a cookbook about ramen and wonder if anyone could recommend one? I am a complete beginner when it comes to Ramen, but not a beginner when it comes to cooking.

I would like something that explains all terms simply, and possibly some alternatives for hard to get ingredients I might not find here in England.

Not a book but Adam Liaw did a short YouTube series called Ramen School. His videos are great. Relaxing and he explains the purpose of every process succinctly.

Had a brief look, and I can see how his laid back style can be very beneficial. Thank you.

I followed Adam's double stock Yuzu ramen recipe and it's wonderful. You are cooking for 2-3 days though!

Not a book or even a coherent recipe, but if you like ramen, then you'll appreciate Tampopo

Remember to apologise to the pork.

Now, this I like the sound of, thank you.

A great cookbook with both authentic (and good!) recipes and a lot of helpful articles on how to find substitutions is

Just One Cookbook

It's a little americentric in what they expect you to have at your local store, but between amazon, a good specialty Asian store, and some creative experimenting you'll find almost everything and might even find better adaptations.

Be prepared for a lot of reading to start with, as you follow the links to substitution lists, variants and deep dives in each component of the Ramen dish.

Thanks, and oh wow. I am now so very hungry from looking at those images.
