Fusion Food Cookbook

Every recipe that we have tried in the book has been outstanding. The recommended combinations are excellent and always compliment each other very well. It is really easy to prepare a fantastic gourmet meal for dinner parties. This is one of the very best cookbooks we have every owned and we recommend it to all of our friends.

Everything I've tried in this (lots) is A PLUS PLUS.

Whenever I want to astound someone with food that is uniquely superb I reach for this book. My husband and I rate all recipes that we try and only the ones that get an A plus get repeated. All that we've tried in this book are A plus. A little bit of work required for most, actually a lot, but well worth it.

Passes the test.

I use a simple test for every cookbook I consider for purchase. If the first four recipes are workable, I buy. If not, back on the shelf. This one is a keeper.I have three other books by these authors. But this book features more daring recipes, and the effect is, overall, more stunning. It has a number of dumplings recipes, which are all great. There are not many books featuring fusion, but if this is the future, I'm buying the ticket.

A creative and unusual cook book; great food!

The title of this book describes the food; a fusion of many cultures. Each combination of ingredients from around the world and western cooking styles provides a scintillating difference for the palate. The directions are clear and simple, and the authors provide named products for ingredients you may not have used before, as well as where to find them. The book is organized so that its simple to select various receipes to create a truly unusual meal. The end result is food that will surprise your guests, and which you will serve again and again. Truly different and wonderful!
