5.0 out of 5 stars asian culture at the table, 16 Feb 2001
After spending nearly a month through Japan, China, Malaysia and Phillipines, i couldn't miss keeping in touch with the best of their culture: their cooking culture. I left that part of Asia amazed with those special tastes. This book helped me filling the distance...as well as my stomach.

5.0 out of 5 stars A seminal classic - a must for any serious cook's shelf, 25 April 2009
By T. Moss "tim_moss10" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Asia, the beautiful cookbook (Hardcover)
I first got this book as a birthday present at the age of 18 when I started to become interested in cooking. 20 years on, the book has rarely left my side and is easily the most used cookbook in my considerable collection.

I must have tried almost all of the recipes now, and with few exceptions, they are easy to follow and absolutely delicious. Some recipes have become such stalwarts of my repetoire that I can't imagine life before gulai hati, chet glay hin or nem nuong.

The book is divided into sections by country, with an affectionate description of each at the beginning, and then each recipe is preceded by a little tale, which I love in a cookbook. As far as I am aware, every single dish appears in a photo, which is also helpful.

Recipes have been clearly well researched, and taste like the dishes I have had in the countries I have visited.

After 20 years has produced rather a heavily foxed book, I received a brand new unsullied copy for my 38th birthday recently. I treasure this book and cannot recommend it highly enough.
