Bao buns, pho, sushi, poke bowls, gyoza, ramen and kimchi have devotees on every high street – now Jennifer Joyce shows how easy it is to create these zingy, fresh, healthy flavours at home. From grilled sticky skewers and steak tacos, salads, rice bowls and dumplings, to prawn katsu bao and miso-glazed ribs, this is an adventure in the dazzling diversity of modern Asian cooking. Jennifer’s exquisitely simple recipes, no-nonsense explanation of ingredients, hand-drawn diagrams and beautiful photographs are all you need to start cooking in your very own Asian Kitchen.

My View:

This is my new go to Asian cookbook. My Asian Kitchen has beautiful look; clean, modern with an almost minimalist look to it – the food is the show piece. The recipes are accessible – most ingredients readily available in the supermarket. There are great instructional notes on how to make/fold/roll: spring rolls, Vietnamese rice paper rolls, Bao buns etc and a very useful glossary.

 

 

 

This book has all my favourites: Prawn laksa, Japanese vegetable miso curry, fried rice, sliders, poke bowls, ramen, rice paper rolls and so much more. Feeling hungry just looking through this 🙂
