Synopsis

Increased travel and the availability of hitherto exotic ingredients have fuelled a huge interest in Asian foods from many different lands and taken us beyond stirfries and sweet-and-sour pork, to subtly aromatized Thai salads, Indonesian sates and spicy rice sticks. Even in Asia itself, a revolution is in progress, as regional cuisines influence each other, stimulating a new wave of Asian food. In this work, Sri Owen provides readers with all the information they need to help them make the most of this exciting food culture in New Wave Asian. From the basic philosophy of Asian food, to cooking techniques, mouthwatering recipes and recipe contributions from the continent's most influential chefs such as Sam Leong of Singapore's Four Seasons Hotel, this is the complete guide to new Asian cooking.

Media Reviews
Sumatran-born Sri Owen brings her many years of cookery writing up-to-date in her latest book. The eclectic flavours of South East Asia are cleverly intermixed to give a novel, tasty and modern dish for today's palate. With herbs, spices and oriental ingredients so prolific in even the most mundane of food stores these days, all Sri's recipes are easily prepared. Covering all methods of cooking from steaming, frying, grilling and baking, she offers a plethora of recipes to create a dinner party redolent of tropical nights and far away places. A must for any cook interested in broadening their horizons. - Lucy Watson
