Product Description
Review
Renowned for being one of the healthiest forms of cooking, steaming often has the misconception of being tricky. Nothing could be further from the truth. From sophisticated steaming pans to cheap bamboo steamers, they are all simple to use and quick to cook with and, best of all, use no oil ensuring a viable low-fat cooking alternative. Drawing inspiration from East and South-Eastern Asia, renowned food writer Elsa Petersen-Schepelem offers a sumptuous feast of steamed delights. From the simplest Chinese greens and chilli corn to the more exotic steamed prawns stuffed with chilli jam and steamed pork buns, the range of dishes is vast. And not all savoury but sweet too with pumpkin puddings and sticky rice with mango and tropical chilli fruits. Each recipe is introduced with a short anecdote and the luscious photographs of William Lingwood make the book a feast in more ways than one. So for anyone looking for a healthier style of cooking, look no further and join the realms of the Far Eastern peoples whose cooking methods are so much better for you than our own. - Lucy Watson

Great Package-Few Recipes, 21 Feb 2005
By Art Holeflapper "Art Holeflapper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steaming: Healthy Food from China, Japan and South East Asia (Hardcover)
This "book" was put together in a beautiful, trendy package but the recipes were few and not of much inspiration for steaming. It's title is clearly deceptive...The food may be healthy but they're impractical and some were expensive to assemble. They were almost better off to be served as gourmet, finger-food type appetizers rather than part of the main course.

Missing Ingredient(s)?, 9 Nov 2006
By Kathleen E. Eberhardt "kriyakat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steaming: Healthy Food from China, Japan and South East Asia (Hardcover)
It's a small book, with a nice overview of a variety of steamed items: vegies, seafood, chicken & meat, rice, & deserts. The first recipe (steamed pork buns) that I tried had a very dry dough, calling for only 1 TB of peanut oil and 1/4 tsp of sesame oil to 2 and 1/2 cups flour. Looking online, I found comparable recipes that called for the addition of water. I improvised and produced some relatively palatable buns that made for great doggie snacks! That being said, the grilled pork filling was fabulous!
