Great recipes - shame there's no pictures

Luckily as a one time professional cook my imagination can fill in the blanks. For others this could be a reason not to purchase this book. It has lots of exciting & different ideas. It would be great to see what the author & chef came up with from a presentation perspective to compliment these recipes. It's a wonderful book and I hope the lack of visuals won't deter the more adventurous out there..

Truly is a Nibbler's Delight

On the cover of this wonderful cookbook of recipes from Trevor Hooper's Raku Restaurant are the words "A Nibbler's Delight of Fusion Cooking". I'm an old fashioned cook so I don't know about fusion in cooking, I always thought that had something to do with Neutron bombs or unlimited energy for free, but I do know good cooking. And let me tell you, you will not be disappointed in anything this book has to offer. Last night I did up the Yucatan Salmon with Tomatillo Sauce on page 69 and I have to tell you, this is a dish that had my mama drooling, and she is the queen of Mexican cooking. Oh yeah, it's hard for her to admit that lil old Katie can match her when it comes to serving up a mouth watering dish, but I did it last night and you can impress your mama or mama-in-law or the best man in your life if you get this book and serve up some of the Nibbler's Delights found inside.

Try it and you'll love it

I am very fond of appetizers or small portion of food before the meal. While I was in Spain, I had the opportunity to sample some tapas, that's why I wonder about this book on asian tapas. So I bought the book and sample some of the recipes. My comment on the recipes is excelent, no wonder some of their (Raku restaurant) customer keep coming even from the other part of the world. BTW, this book is the recipes of the Raku restaurant in Vancouver. And even if the book mention Asian, some of the recipes originated in non asian countries like Berebere from Ethiopia or confit of duck from France.
