Summary
In my opinion, The Complete Asian Cookbook pays tribute to the original with a sleek, modern design. This book was first published in 1976, it quickly became a classic, featuring 800 recipes from fifteen countries, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan. Aimed at home cooks, Charmaine's recipes are clear, easy to follow, and consistently reliable. The book includes helpful introductions to each recipe and chapter, offering insights into how regional dishes are traditionally prepared and served. A detailed glossary clarifies unfamiliar ingredients, many of which are now commonly found in supermarkets. This cookbook is a must-have for every kitchen.
