 Rating: - Simply TerrificI rented this book from my local library and then just had to buy it. You will love this complete and fantastic book. Asian food is really easy to cook with this... a must buy!! Rating: - Huge & complete cookbook!WOW! If you are looking for a cookbook that has every Asian recipe you can imagine, this is it. It covers recipes from India to Japan. Some easy and some advanced. It's a big book and holds lots of great recipes. Not so sure this is a book for the beginner cook? as most of the recipes are very detailed and time consuming. Either way, a great addition to the cooks cookbook library! Rating: - The perfect Asian cookbookI have personally made many of the recipes included in this wide ranging Asian cookbook, from India, Burma, China, Indonesia, and Malay foods and found each to be as wonderful or better than the last. I have also given this book as a gift to a number of my friends who appreciate excellent food and are adventuresome as well. I intend to order two more of these as gifts in the near future. I highly recommend Ms. Solomon's book to anyone wishing to expand their cooking repetoire. Rating: - Everyone who wants to cook Asian should have this on the shelfI was given this book in 1985 as a new American bride living in Australia and it has become my bible for Asian cooking. Other reviewers have spoken more thoroughly about Solomon's book so I don't need to here, but I will say this: I learned to cook good Asian food by thoroughly reading the chapter I was interested in, then getting out and trying the recipe. When I started using this book I was not an accomplished cook but was competent. The recipes here are authentic and not trendy. Since receiving this book I've traveled a bit in Asia and was happily surprised that the food I ate in restaurants tasted just like the recipes I'd been making at home out of this book. These recipes are thankfully not "adjusted for the western cook," (that is bland and boring) but every bit as spicy and flavorful as what one would eat in Thailand, China, India and elsewhere. The criticism that some recipes are too involved or too hard can be justified in some cases, but really, if you're going to cook Asian, don't settle for lesser bottled sauces and pastes when by using Solomon's book you can eat the tastier real deal. For over 30 years now I've been serving delighted consumers Asian food made from this book. I recommend it to everyone who wants to cook real, varied Asian cuisine and not just the few popular dishes one finds in a restaurant. My last word on the subject: I have hosted nine foreign exchange students and countless international visitors to my home over the years. The one thing they all miss is food from their countries. Whenever Asians visit I try to cook something that will remind them of home. Virtually all of them have commented on how wonderful it is to taste "real" food and they are pleasantly surprised that an American can actually cook it. Many things I learned about Asian food and cooking I learned from this cookbook.
