Asian grandmothers, whether of Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian,
Vietnamese, or Indian descent; are the keepers of the cultural, and culinary, flame. Their mastery of delicious home-cooked dishes and
comfort food makes them the ideal source for this cookbook. Author Pat Tanumihardja has assembled 130 tantalizing dishes from real
Chinese fried rice
to the classic Filipino Chicken Adobo to the ultimate Japanese comfort
dish Oyako donburi. This is hearty food, brightly flavored, equally good
to look at and eat. Flavors range from soy and ginger to hot chiles,
fragrant curries, and tart vinegars. The author has translated all of
the recipes to work in modern home
kitchens.
Many of them have been handed down from mother to daughter for
generations without written recipes, and some appear in tested and
written form for the first time. An exhaustive Asian Pantry glossary
explains the
ingredients, from the many kinds of rice and curries to unfamiliar but flavorful vegetables.
very interesting book
