Author's Notes Apr 10, 2007
By Kristin Enkvetchakul
I am the author of this cookbook.

First of all, although the description does not mention it, this book also contains a detailed sushi section. It gives clear instructions on how to make great sushi at home, including how to make sushi rice, how to cut sushi, and how to make several different rolls. A detailed glossary explains different kinds of sushi, and the book also tells where someone can get great quality sushi on-line.

The book also contains traditional recipes from China (stir fries and dim sum), Thailand, Vietnam, & Japan.

Recipes include:
How to make great white rice
Red Bean Sesame Ball (Dim Sum)
Shao Mai (Dim Sum)
Pad Thai (Thailand)
Larb (Thailand)
Sticky Rice (Thailand)
Bun Bo Hue (Vietnam)
Bun Rieu (Vietnam)
Fresh Spring Rolls & 2 sauces (Vietnam)
Catfish in a Claypot (Vietnam)
Pho (Vietnam)
Sushi Rice

Detailed glossaries explain ingredients and often brand names are suggested. There is a list of websites of where to get ingredients, including fresh ones like fresh lemongrass & galanga, as well as equipment.

The recipes are written so that the novice Asian cook can immediately cook good Asian food. The more experienced Asian chef will appreciate the combination of recipes given.

The recipes are not "Americanized"- they use traditional, authentic ingredients such as galanga (galangal), lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and fish sauce. Again, websites of where to get all of this are listed.
