Spices, imaginatively used, are the outstanding feature of Indian & Pakistani cookery-subtle or pungent, hot or mild, there is something to suit every palate. This is a completely revised & updated edition of Charmaine Solomon's influential & iconic The Complete Asian Cookbook. Instantly heralded as a classic when it was first published in 1976, The Complete Asian Cookbook covers 800 classic & contemporary dishes from fifteen countries (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thail&, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, The Philippines, China, Korea & Japan). Written with the home cook in mind, Charmaine's recipes are straightforward, simple to follow & work every time. Recipe & chapter introductions give valuable information about how local dishes are prepared & served, while the comprehensive glossary explains unfamiliar ingredients (which are steadily more commonplace in supermarkets today). The Complete Asian Cookbook is a book that belongs in the kitchens of every household.
