Author: PASSMORE, JACKI
Title: Asia the Beautiful Cookbook
Description: Blitz Edition. 1990. Hardcover. Hardback in very good condition. Brimming with sleek color photographs of evocative regional scenes, this oversize survey of Asian cuisines from Bombay to Beijing and Bali will enchant exotically aspirant cooks and culinary historicists alike. Concise directions for delicate hand-formed and rolled Japanese sushi typify the careful attention to authentic technique apparent throughout. Spicy and sweet Korean fare features traditional bulgogi, grilled beef strips marinated in a pungent mixture of sesame, garlic, ginger, chili and green onions. While the multifaceted cuisine of China merits its own volume, food writer and consultant Passmore here emphasizes a breadth of styles, from informal dim sum steamed pork dumplings to the home-tailored splendor of Peking duck. America's romance with Thai food will be enhanced through seafood dishes that artfully blend coconut, peanut and lime with hot chilis and assertive spices like cilantro, ginger and basil. Indian curries are made piquant with tamarind juice, mustard seed or the tart flesh of green mangos. Less familiar to American palates will be the milder, nutty curries from Singapore and Malaysia. Enjoy the culinary creations of fourteen Asian countries first-hand as you embark on a temptation-filled tour that begins in Japan and ends on the enchanting isle of Sri Lanka. To capture the essence of Asia's cuisines, author Jacki Passmore spent more than fifteen years gathering the best recipes from hundreds of expert cooks. In this book she shares her finds; here are over 200 memorable dishes-from appetizers to desserts-beautifully photographed in glorious detail. Used: Acceptable.
