As Brissenden says, "With the world full of same-tasting, instant approaches to Southeast Asian food through packets and jars, this book aims to serve as a guide to cooks who wish to enjoy its true freshness and variety by cooking it for themselves. If it also conveys a sense of a rich and diverse set of culinary traditions I shall be more than happy."

Southeast Asian Flavors: Adventures in Cooking the Foods of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia & Singapore Review

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.

A land of colorful temples, bustling markets, golden beaches, and glorious sunsets, Malaysia's exquisite natural beauty is surpassed only by its luscious cuisine. This book celebrates the best of the Malaysian table: sizzling satays, flavorful stir-fries, fragrant rice and noodle dishes, aromatic curries, and Malaysia's signature hot and spicy condiments, the delectable sambals. For centuries Malaysia was a major centre of the spice trade in Southeast Asia. As seafarers, traders, and immigrant workers from many countries intermarried with locals, new culinary traditions emerged. Over time, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Indonesian and Arab, as well as Dutch, Portuguese, and British influences blended beautifully to create the melange of cultures and intensely vibrant flavours that is Malaysian cuisine today. Susheela Raghavan serves up treasured recipes, touching family stories, and fascinating notes about the origins of Malaysian food in this lovingly compiled collection. It features: over 150 authentic, easy-to-follow recipes; 16-page color photo insert; detailed introduction to Malaysian history and its culinary origins; and, a guide to Malaysian ingredients and cooking techniques.

Malaysian Cooking: A Master Cook Reveals Her Best Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Malaysian Cooking: A Master Cook Reveals Her Best Recipes is packed with lovely large-size color photos by Masano Kawana inspired by her childhood memories, and offers dishes any Asian cook will find appealing. From Bean Sauce Noodles with Prawns and Sausage, spiced with sweet soy sauce and chili paste, to Ginger Soy Chicken with Rice Wine, filled with herbs and flavor, this is especially recommended for its focus on Malaysian dishes, as usually Malaysian fare is not given its own book but blended in with more general 'Asian' cookbooks. A top pick any general lending library strong in ethnic cooking will find popular and eye-catching.
