Book Description

Culinaria November 15, 2008
Food and culture are inexorably tied together. The Culinaria series reports on every aspect of the cuisine of a country within the context of the people who created it. One of the most successful series in cook book history, these new editions are updated with the guidance of first-class chefs, and come in a durable flexi-cover format to withstand abuse while spending time in the kitchen.

The teams behind each Culinaria volume spend months in the region they are working on, allowing them time to fully absorb all of the food and drink a country can offer. Profusely illustrated with spectacular photography and abundantly peppered with authentic recipes, these volumes are a treat for both the mind and the palate.


Learn about the history behind the dishes, their cultural significance, and how to prepare them.
Beautiful photographs take you on a tour from the local villages to inside the kitchen where you will find the final product.
Enormous variety of magnificent photographs and tempting recipes together with knowledgeable text that is easy for readers and cooks of all skill levels to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, January 6, 2009
By 
This review is from: Culinaria Southeast Asia: A Journey Through Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia (Cooking) (Paperback)
Superb explanation with spectacular photos. The only draw back is that it lacks the Indian aspects of food in Malaysia. The Indian community and it's food forms part of Malaysian culinary and was totally left out in this book. It talks about the Chinese and Malay though leaving out the other major ethnic group comprising Malaysia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and interesting cookbook, March 25, 2010
This review is from: Culinaria Southeast Asia: A Journey Through Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia (Cooking) (Paperback)
I love this book. It is a joy to read and has a wide array of dishes from southeast Asia. I also have Culinaria Germany. Compared to other cookbooks Culinaria Southeast Asia goes above and beyond in terms of information. Compared to Culinaria Germany it is, I feel, not as thorough. Don't get me wrong, this is a great book with tons of information, but it is highlighting three countries, including the fourth largest nation in the world in terms of population (Indonesia). Culinary Germany is strictly about Germany and it is probably twice as long as this one. Another reviewer mentioned how this book leaves out Malay Indian cuisine. It does not talk much about the Chinese in Indonesia either. I guess what I am saying is I wish this book had been as detailed as Culinaria Germany as the regions it highlights certainly have as much to offer in the way of culture and food as the different regions in Germany. Having said that however, this cookbook offers more information on the food and culture of Southeast Asia than any other cookbook I have encountered. Besides that it is fulled with amazing pictures and that is always a plus for me. I would highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The whole Culinaria series is great, October 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Culinaria Southeast Asia: A Journey Through Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia (Cooking) (Paperback)
The Southeast Asia volume in the Culinaria series is as terrific as all the others. Not just recipes, but really the story of the tradition, the production of the ingredients, and the preparation of national dishes. My favorite is the Hungary volume, but each one is fascinating on its own. Many other cookbooks have marvelous photographs, but in this series they show food as experienced by the people of the country. Some ingredients come from just a single place, and how they are made is explained in very charming style. If you love cooking because of its traditional and cultural significance, these can't be beat. The buyer should be aware that the countries covered are limited to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia -- and do not include Thailand or Vietnam.
