Simply Irresistable, 19 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Asian Vegetarian Cooking (Paperback)
As a vegetarian who LOVES asian food, this book was a dream for me. The price is right, and the recipes are wonderful and easy to make. The book itself is also just beautiful. The illustrations make you salivate, and the end product lives up to the image.One of the things I love about this cookbook is that there is a picture on every page, which, to me, makes it a lot easier for me to decide what to cook. Also, even though the cookbook is fairly compact (95 pages), it still has many of the benefits of larger cookbooks with it's covers that open to a two page utensil and cooking tool guide, and back cover which opens to a three page Asian ingredients guide. The information in between the sections is also great.
Another great thing that they do with the recipes is give you nutrition facts, prep time, a not on if it's easy to prepare or not, if it's spicy, if it's great for company, refreshing, and also, a note to tell you that it can be prepared ahead of time, I think you get the point.
All in all, this is a great book for the vegetarian, or NON VEGETARIAN, who likes asian cooking. I'd have to say that this book is, penny for penny, probably the best Asian all vegetarian cookbook I have purchased!

EXCELLENT! Buy this book!, 28 Jan 2002
By Michelle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Asian Vegetarian Cooking (Paperback)
Thanks to this book- no need to go to a thai restaurant again! My husband and I are cooking fast, delicious and authentic thai at home now. Before this book, I never thought it possible to make such great Thai food at home. Pictures in this book are gorgeous and make it easy to decide what's for dinner! The curry sauces are wonderful! BUT, IF YOU BUY THIS BOOK FOR NOTHING ELSE, BUY IT FOR THE MUSHROOM SOUP RECIPE ON PAGE 15!! 100% VEGAN (though you'd never guess) AND SIMPLY AMAZING! BEST SOUP EVER!!

Not so impressed, 26 Dec 2008
By Rosie the Riveter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Asian Vegetarian Cooking (Paperback)
I must disagree with the other reviewers. The recipes may be great, but I find two flaws. One is that some of the ingredients are not easy to find (unless one is a city dweller) e.g. dried lily petals, red Thai basil, Indian bay leaves, lemon leaves, banana flowers, etc. Secondly, the amounts of each ingredient need interpretation. For example, how much is 1/8 lb. of cellophane noodles, or 1 1/8 lb. of soybean sprouts, or 8 3/4oz. of carrots. Can't they just tell me it's 1/2 cup or a whole carrot or whatever. I don't happen to own kitchen scales and this just makes a lot of extra work. I'm sending it back.
