Summary: Great Recipes!
Comment: My Mom and I love this book! Only thing is, she bought it for much more money than I did through Amazon. Great Prices.

Summary: Brilliant!!
Comment: I love this book - it is one of my favorite cookbooks. This has delicious easy to make recipes including many variations on noodle soups, fried rice, curries, appetisers etc. The recipes taste authentic, such as the Singaporian laksa - which is as good as any I have had in Singapore
It is very modern, the recipes are trendy, and the food tastes restaurant class. After cooking out of this cookbook it is very difficult to enjoy going out for Asian meals again - much nicer to cook it yourself using this book!

Summary: Reliable and handsome
Comment: Ms. Hutton offers reliable, clear recipes in a beautiful book, with clear advice as to ingredients, combinations, and cooking techniques. Lush photographs make everything look scrumptious. Good design keeps one recipe together on one page. I have had very good results with the three recipes I have tried. I bought the hardback because I expect to be using this book often, and appreciate the author's identification of recipes that require extra time and effort--a whole chapter. Another approach I appreciate is a good use of English that is not too British, not too American--but comprehensible to both, I hope. I am an American cook but sometimes use metric measures and having both is helpful.

Summary: Fantastic book!
Comment: Not only is this book beautiful to look at, the recipes produce the most delicious (and authentic tasting) food. The simple recipes are easy enough even for people who aren't that confident in the kitchen (like my spouse); the fancier ones are perfect for dinner parties. Highly recommended!

Summary: Access to a well-stocked Asian grocery will be required
Comment: Access to a well-stocked Asian grocery will be required for successful appreciation of GREEN MANGOES AND LEMON GRASS; but readers with such access will find this a fine introduction to the range of Southeast Asia's dishes, from Thailand's spicy cuisine to the French influences of Vietnamese dishes. Enjoy a Mimosa Rice from Vietnam spiced with coconut milk, fish sauce, Chinese sausages and onions; or a Spicy Minced Beef from Laos with lime juice and lemon grass. Beautiful color photos abound.
