About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Open this book for an exploratory look at 17 root vegetables that have come to be entrenched in Asian cuisines. Food veterans Devagi Sanmugam and Christopher Tan turn their creativity and passion to Asian roots after their successful Cooking with Asian Leaves which features herbs, shoots and vegetables. In this book, they unearth a whole new culinary world with 17 root vegetables, including rhizomes, tubers and corms. Not just boiled and braised, these roots are given a new interpretation in Asian cuisine with full-colour photographs for all 58 recipes.

Introductory sections, each dedicated to one single root, offer advice on how to choose, prepare and store roots; have notes on nutritional and health benefits; as well as explain how these very same roots are used in different culinary cultures. With some imagination and a willingness to shake-up conventions, you could unearth a whole new culinary world.
