Charmaine Solomon's Asian Favourites

Description

Charmaine Solomon brings your favourite restaurant dishes into the home, in a deluxe paperback that looks as good as the food tastes. Written in the inimitable style that has made Solomon the Queen of Asian cooking in Australia, the reader is guided step by step through Asia's most popular dishes. Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Korea and China are all represented. Charmaine Solomon knows how little time we have to spend in the kitchen these days, so she has added handy hints on how to take short cuts, without compromising flavour, by using spice pastes and powders that have been prepared beforehand. More than 130 recipes include Tom Yum Goong, Laksa Lemak, Pho, Lamb Korma, Sushi, Fried Rice and Beef in Black Bean Sauce.

Charmaine Solomon emigrated to Australia from Sri Lanka forty years ago. She has taken Asian food to new frontiers, through newspapers, magazines, television, cookery schools and over twenty-five cookbooks. She is the author of the best-selling 'The Complete Asian Cookbook' and 'Encyclopedia of Asian Food', and the popular 'big book' series, which includes the 'The Wok Book' and 'Hot and Spicy'. She has been translated into German, French, Dutch and Norwegian.
