Customer Reviews

Favorite Cookbook

My daughter bought this book years ago at Sam's Club. I thought she was spending money necessarily. Then I tried a couple of the recipes and immediately bought one for me and for each of my older children. Every recipe we have tried has been wonderful, and a few are my very favorite dishes to make.

Very easy to follow

This book has been extremely helpul to me in cooking Indian dishes. The receipes are east to follow and the outcome is amazing. I would highly recommend this for a first time cook.

A beautiful book of excellent recipes from all over Asia

This is a beautiful book both to look at and cook with. It contains recipes from all over Asia, including Laos & Cambodia, India & Pakistan, Korea... A friend from Singapore confirms that the Singaporean recipes are authentic. These are local recipes not Americanised dishes. I've cooked about thirty five of the recipes from the book since it was given me, and all have been good. The Thai and Indian recipes in particular were superb. The book *looks* beautiful, too: wonderful photographs of the dishes (that look like the real thing, not some art director's dream!); lovely illustrations of ingredients. Many explanations of local ingredients (kaffir lime leaves, galangal, Balti paste). All in all, this is a delightful and very reliable cookbook and one I highly recommend.
