 an amazing book May 3, 2001
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
this book is truly a work of art and love... Whoever these people are you can tell that they truly enjoyed making this book, or living the life experinces that they recount in this book. the pictures are beautiful and help greatly to tell the story of the recipes and experiences..... now..... All this could be the case and the recipes could be $hit... and it would make a beautiful coffee table coaster... but they're not... these recipes are good, from the five or six that i've tried, well written and precise. A solid introduction to south east asian flavours and ingredients with nice, acessible home-style dishes.
A Beautiful Cookbook with Excellent Recipes August 28, 2002
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
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 store, buy the book and impress your family and friends.
Great combination of travelogue and cookbook January 21, 2002

Wonderful combination of travelogue and cookbook.
Incidentally as a note to one of the other reviewers, the coriander plant is known as cilantro in the US. Coriander root is simply the root part of cilantro or coriander - just buy cilantro with the roots left on.
[ Follow up]
A lot of Seattle area supermarkets have moved towards more prepack preparation of fresh herbs such as trimming roots and cutting herbs to fit in prepack containers. So it is getting harder to find plants like coriander with roots left on - still the smaller asian markets should have these in stock even if the larger asian supermarkets such as Uwajimaya are starting to follow other major US chains in preparing herbs
Not just a coffee table book! November 15, 2001
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I usually pick my cookbooks by number of recipes and quality of instruction. It is seldom I buy a cookbook that has lots of pictures and non-recipe discourse. However, this is probably one of the best cookbooks I have purchased in the last 2 years. It has clear, concise recipes from my favorite region for food - practically fool-proof (my husband even made the bok choi successfully!).
And adding to the food quality is the need to curl up with this cookbook as if it were a novel - wonderful descriptions of a facinating part of the world, and expressive and intriguing pictures to fire the imagination. I only regret that I have to get it dirty - I'll have to buy a 2nd copy for my coffee table!
A must have for anyone who loves to have fun with food!
