Synopsis
With over 1000 recipes from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Burma, India and Pakistan, and Japan, the book is easy to understand, and gives preparation and cooking times, with ingredients in both American and Metric/Imperial measurements, with clear step-by-step instructions and color photos. It's also coded for difficulty, so that inexperienced cooks have an idea of what they're getting into. The names of the dishes are described in English, but the name is also given in the native language. They also offer sample menus, and illustrated instructions for things like making samosas and egg rolls where a diagram is helpful. The 12-page Introduction consists of maps and descriptions of all the various countries and their history and cuisine. A Cooking Techniques section goes over the purpose and method of every sort of cooking step, such as marinating, larding, salting, pot roasting, barbecuing, and blanching. There is even a beautiful full-color four-page section on garnishing, showing how to make those radish roses, cucumber fans, and many other intricate garnishes. The back of the book holds a glossary and an index
