Synopsis

For centuries Malaysia has been a melting pot of different cultures, and this is reflected in the diversity of its cuisine: traditional Malay; Northern Malay with its Thai influences; Indian; Chinese; British, Dutch and Portuguese colonial; and Nonya, the style most often associated with Malaysian cuisine, an intriguing and delicious blend of Chinese, Indian and indigenous Malay styles.
Whether an experienced cook or a new-comer to Asian cooking, Makan-Lah will help you master the finer points of Malaysia's diverse cuisine. It contains a helpful glossary, easy-to-follow instructions for preparing ingredients, and interesting facts about the history of Malaysia's cooking styles.

About this title

Review:

Tested and Reviewed by the Skea family, friends and neighbours, the recipes in this book passed the Thousand Bite Family Taste-test with distinction. The Novice-Cook Kitchen Destruction Team gave the book three-and-a-half stars out of five ("instructions generally clear; lots of chopping, grating and mixing"). Close neighbours reported the aroma-therapy value for appetite stimulation as very high. And the Marketing Manager found little difficulty or expense in obtaining ingredients from the local Asian Grocery store. Most telling of all, many of these recipes have gone into the Skea Kitchen Archives, to be savoured again at regular intervals. -- Midwest Book Review
