Beyond Fusion,
By Warren Pearson (Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Fusion: A New Look at Ethnic Influences on Contemporary Cooking (Hardcover)
As a professional I can say this is a very honest book. I really appreciated the way the dishes were executed and pictured in real time. There is no over manipulation of presentation to impress nor over stepping too many classic boundaries whether Asian or Occidental.It seems that going "beyond fusion" is in a way a sense of going back to basics. Where the items are fused as in the book I could taste and see how each would complement, not confuse. This guy has the back ground and obviously has a respect for food. I think it is a great book and it is surely one of those thing where to get something simply done is not necessarily done simply. Congratulations. Being in a less than cosmopolitan area I shall draw on this book to stimulate ideas in the future. A good find.

Imaginative and Stimulative Ideas,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Fusion: A New Look at Ethnic Influences on Contemporary Cooking (Hardcover)
The book has wonderful photography but the main beauty lies in the application of ideas. It invokes the imaginative side of cookery. After reading it, I am urged to explore cookery beyond culturally accepted norms. I feel that the whole basis is totally about the combination of western and eastern styles of cooking to produce a unique food that goes beyond traditional boundaries. Even different sub-cultures are mixed in cooking to create something palatable to all. It is truly beyond the melding of East and West. The book shows us how the combination of cooking ideas can actually work. It is creativity at its best. Wonderful.

Beyond Fusion,
By Ali Tahiri (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Fusion: A New Look at Ethnic Influences on Contemporary Cooking (Hardcover)
Saw the book in Singapore airport. Said to myself not another cookery book. As an Ex Hotelier & Caterer, I could not help myself pick it up and look through it since I have had the pleasure of dining in many of Chef Rainer Hotels, The Mandarin Oriental in KL, Fullerton in Singapore. It is a really Great book, so refreshing and different. I could not put it down all the way home on the plane. It is not only a cookbook but also a little story book for each recipe. Brilliant photo's, almost like vogue style. A Wonderful gift to people who like cooking Great gift for both families or professional chef's.
