This book surprised me. I loved the BBC series & wondered if the book could be as inspiring.
Well it is! Gorgeous graphics, beautiful food photos & short colourful stories.
The recipes are simple, elegant, clear & precise in their instructions. It couldn't be easier.
With 150 recipes in all I loved his balance of meat, fish, poultry & vegetarian recipes.
If you haven't dipped your toes in Asian cookery, this book is a great place to start.
Equally it is also perfect for cooks & professional chefs, like me.
This is a great practical book suitable for everyday use, it caters for all tastes.
He certainly has captured real authenticity in the recipes. Anyone who has travelled thru
South East Asia will agree...Highly recommend...

This is one of the best cook books i have, and i have a lot! Lovely bright glossy pictures with explainations of each dish under the recipe heading so you know what you will be eating before trying the recipe. The vietnamese chicken and cabbage salad is so delicious my husband and i polished it all off our selves and the recipe is supposed to be for four people!
Some recipes have ingredients as long as your arm while some are easy and simple. Something for every taste bud in this one. Well worth the buy.

Love this book and looking forward to the tv series. You will have to hunt out ingredients at an Asian supermarket, but the dishes taste great. The slow cooked pork with ginger, chilli and sweet soy sauce is fantastic.

Fantastic cookbook - I've travelled to some of the areas that he writes about and can say that the recipes are very authentic. He shows you how to recreate them in your own kitchen at home - just fantastic. He also gives you an introduction about each country and it makes you feel like you are there. I will recommend this book to anyone who is interesed in Asian cooking. Another fantastic cookbook from my favorite tv chef - Rick Stein.

This is an amazing culinary journey. Some ingredients a little tricky but well worth tracking down.Rick has out done himself this time. My all time favourite.
