Book Overview

From award-winning authors Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid, this book is a glorious combination of travel and taste, presenting enticing recipes in "an odyssey rich in travel anecdote" (National Geographic Traveler).

Hot Sour Salty Sweet's more than 175 recipes are accompanied by evocative stories about places and people. The recipes and stories are gorgeously illustrated throughout with more than 150 full-color food and travel photographs.

The book invites a flexible approach to cooking and eating, for dishes from different places can be happily served and eaten together--for example:
- Thai Grilled Chicken with Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce
- Vietnamese Green Papaya Salad and Lao Sticky Rice
- Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup
- Jungle Curry
And so much more

In Southeast Asia, people eat for joy. Their palate is wildly eclectic and proudly unrestrained. In Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet, this great culinary region is celebrated with all the passion, color, and life that it deserves.

A Beautiful Cookbook with Excellent Recipes

I bought this cookbook after reading many wonderful reviews. I was not disappointed. This book is beautiful from start to finish. It took me while to pick out a recipe to cook because everything looks and sounds so incredible. I have now cooked several dishes and everything has been great and fairly simple to make. One of my favorites so far is the dish, "Our Favorite Noodles with Greens and Gravy." Find a good oriental grocery...

AMAZING! Best Cookbook in my collection!

I am, admittedly, a coockbook hoarder. I have them everywhere -- even in the drawers of my nightstand and tucked under the bed.

It is part travel novel, part anthropology lesson, and -- in large part -- a primer for westerners in Southeast Asian cuisine.Easy to read, straightforward in...

An outstanding culinary experience

This is the most compelling cookbook I have ever had in the more than 50 years I've been cooking (and eating). Usually I skim cookbooks, just picking out the best sounding recipes. But, in this book, I read (and salivated over) every word. Upon finishing, I immediately ordered another copy to be sent to one of my brothers and his wife who also love to travel and cook. All of the recipes I've tried so far have been fabulous...

Five Star Flavour Hits!

If you love flavour, you have to have this book. Thai food introduced many of us to that culinary balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet, which gives this book its name. Alford and Duguid reveal the similarities and differences in the cuisines of neighbouring worlds along the Mekong. I've been fortunate to help test for the authors, and this collection is my favourite so far. Many of the recipes are now in my daily repetoire,...
