This is a wonderful book for fans of Asian food whether vegan or not. I love having 9 areas of Asia covered in one book. The recipes are well laid out and very easy to follow and most of the ingredients are already in the store cupboard of those of us who cook Asian food regularly so there's no need for lengthy shopping lists - you can just pick up the book and start cooking. Lots of the recipes are pretty quick to cook too which makes it great to use after a day at work.
I've only had this book a couple of weeks and I've already tried 8 recipes and they've all been excellent - especially the Split Pea Fritter Curry - love it!

I never, ever write reviews, but in this occasion the book is so good I've got to share. If you like Asian flavours, healthy and simple vegetarian dishes with a kick, this is the one. This is first time I buy a cook book and I am compelled to try different recipes every day (normally I find two I like and use them until I get bored, then find another book)This morning I tried the carrot, cabbage, split mung bean tomato soup, thinking it wasn't going to work...I was wrong. I wisked up the recipe in 30 mins and it tastes delicious. Can't wait until lunchtime.

No matter if you are not a vegan these recipes are really tastey. They can be standalone complete meals or good side dishes to a main meat course.
