Customer Reviews

Intense flavours beautifully presented

I recently moved to Singapore and left my previous copy of this back in New Zealand with someone else. I hope they use it. This book has recipes to die for. The flavours are intense, exotice and exquisite. But she presents them in a way that is incredibly easy to follow and cook. A book for the serious foodie.

The best single Asian cookbook!

If you only own one Asian cookbook, this should be it. Madhur Jaffrey provides authentic, delicious--and beautifully illustrated--recipes from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Singapore, Japan, and more. Just as in her Indian cookbooks, she collects recipes from both restaurants and good home cooks. Best of all, at the back of the book she has included pages of photographs of ingredients, packaged and loose. Armed with this book, you can successfully shop for exotic ingredients anywhere, even when many things are unlabelled and you and the proprietor do not share a common language!
