2.0 out of 5 stars just brief description about cuisine, no significant content, November 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Cuisines of Southeast Asia: A Culinary Journey Through Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines (Paperback)

The book just contains a brief description about the food and people she encountered. The book is more like a travel log or journal. There is nothing significant about how the food come to be and the history behind the devolopement of cuisine culture.
