Asian Ingredients

A Guide to the Foodstuffs of China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam

Bruce Cost

"A thick book packed with information and insight into Asian cooking. Although full of authentic, and sometimes daring recipes, the bias of the book is to the ingredients themselves. Herbs, vegetables, fungi, condiments, sauces, pastes, spices, sugars, meats, fish, noodles, flours and pulses are all covered. Meticulously researched, this volume is a must-have for anyone deeply interested in food, flavours and different cultures. It is tastefully written by one of America's most original and exciting chefs."
