Product Description
From Amazon.com
Madhur Jaffrey's Step-by-Step Cooking fearlessly brings the intense flavors of Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India to American home kitchens. Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian made Jaffrey a household name, and her Indian cookbooks have garnered her wide recognition as a doyenne of Indian cooking. Here she extends that authority to take readers on a culinary tour of the Far East, and offers more than 150 easy-to-follow recipes that bring the extensive palate of Asian culinary treasures home.
The tantalizing recipes represent the broad spectrum of flavors and cooking techniques found throughout Asia. Hot, sweet, salty, and sour burst in popular dishes like Thai Hot and Sour Prawn Soup, and the intense flavors of fresh herbs shine in dishes like Vietnamese Aromatic and Spicy Beef Stew. Chicken may be poached, shredded, and tossed with a spicy sesame sauce for Bon Bon Chicken in Hong Kong; sautéed with bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and black beans in Malaysia; or smothered with a heady spice paste of chilies, shallots, and turmeric, and roasted whole wrapped in banana leaves in Indonesia.
An informative introduction includes helpful guidance on equipment and the various cooking techniques used. Invaluable tips, charming personal anecdotes, helpful menu suggestions, and gorgeous color photographs sprinkled throughout convey Jaffrey's deep passion for the foods and traditions of this stunning and vibrant corner of the world. --Robin Donovan
From Library Journal
Originally published in French in 1993, this attractive volume is a celebration of the seasons by one of France's top chefs. Robuchon provides thoughtful mini-essays one for each week of the year on ingredients from spring's asparagus to winter's chestnuts, along with 52 recipes that show them at their best. The essays are illustrated with botanic and other antique prints and engravings, and there are color photographs, many of them full page, of all the recipes. Robuchon's prose, like his food, is elegant and refined, and his thoughtful tributes to the seasons' bounty are informative and thoroughly readable. For most collections.

Unlocking Great Asian Secrets,
By "t-bone100" (Seoul Korea (South)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Madhur Jaffrey's Step-By-Step Cooking (Hardcover)
I'm a huge Madhur Jaffrey fan and I must admit this is one her better ones (even though it may be quite similar to Far Eastern Cookery). With tempting pictures and easy to follow recipes you can easily recreate some of Asia's best dishes. I've rarely suffered mishaps with her recipes. I think you will find many of her recipes to be guaranteed successes.I live in Korea and I've tried most of her Korean dishes in restaurants and homes. Her recipes are authentic and, dare I say, better than most of the ones I've tried here. My Korean friends would also agree. However, never substitute Korean gochujang - there's no alternative as she suggests. Try the recipe for bulgogi. It's one of the best I've ever had!

By duncan liston (Chico, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Madhur Jaffrey's Step-By-Step Cooking (Hardcover)
Glenn Kessler is exactly right. the book is almost identical to madhur jaffrey's far eastern cookery which i purchased in 1990. changes are a joke. e.g. one quarter pound in 1990 --four ounces in 2001. .... fortunately i have a cooking friend who does not have this one and has a birthday coming up so my [money] is not wasted. thanks for giving your clients this opportunity for expression, good or bad.

Can't get enough of Madhur Jaffrey,
By "terryquint" (Reno, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Madhur Jaffrey's Step-By-Step Cooking (Hardcover)
I have used Madhur Jaffrey's other cookbooks with great success. I found that without exception her recipes are foolproof and absolutely delicious. I love the layout of the step-by-step cookbook. Typical of Madhur Jaffrey, she uses no-frills ingredients to great effect and the suggested menus in the back actually look doable. This cookbook is inspiring thanks to the huge color photographs covering almost every other page. I review all new cookbooks from my local library -- religiously -- and this is the only one that I simply had to own.
