Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Chef Robert Danhi's passion for Asian cuisine and culture is obvious in this first rate book. More than just a cookbook, the reader learns about the culinary identity of Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, and how to build authentic flavor combinations. His section on the Asian pantry is the best product identification I have seen to date on these authentic ingredients. The book is beautifully illustrated so the reader can visualize not only the ingredient, but what the finished dish should look like. Danhi inserts frequent educational blurbs about "How and Why" to explain the science and art behind the cooking, which is tremendously helpful to the reader. His unbiased assesment of monosodium glutamate is provocative, as well as the more general idea of glutamates and umami flavor. This book is a work of art, and a must for anyone interested in Asian cuisine.
