  The pervasive influence of Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and other oriental cuisines is apparent in the wealth of cookery books, magazine articles and the rapidly expanding number of high street restaurants serving ethnic cooking which have sprung up over the last few years. Frances Bissell introduces this trend into our home kitchens in this book, exploding myths and opening up new culinary possibilities in 120 tasty recipes. This is a guide for cooks interested in creating authentic oriental cooking at home, using simple, healthy and easily available ingredients. This book outlines the history and method of oriental cooking and includes chapters on the necessary ingredients and equipment alongside notes on wines best suited to this style of food. It will allow all cooks to be more imaginative in their use of Eastern ingredients and techniques and will introduce new sensations of texture and flavour into their repertoire.
