Description

In Balance and Harmony, Neil Perry revels in his love of Asian cooking: the great flavours, the contrasts in tastes and textures, and the way that just about anything can be cooked with a wok and a bamboo steamer. Balance and Harmony is set out in the style of a cooking course from the Rockpool master chef, progressing from the easiest steamed, stir-fried, braised and deep-fried dishes, to more challenging and intricate plates as you gain confidence and knowledge.
