5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent so far February 4, 2007
Format:Hardcover
I don't usually buy cookbooks that cover many cuisines because they usually do a lousy job of everything, but when I picked up this book at a local Borders, it looked good, so I bought it. I know a little about Thai and Indian cooking, so I knew what to look for.

I've tried 3 recipes so far and they've all been excellent. They were from Rajasthan, Pakistan and Africa. I'm going to try more.

So if you are an adventurous cook that likes fully flavored food and you want to expand your horizons, I recommend this book. The only advice I'd give you is to always carefully reduce the sauces and correct the seasonings at the end. Many people spend hours cooking a dish and they don't finish it off right.

The book has beautiful pictures of many of the dishes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for experienced cooks September 27, 2007
By C. Chua
Format:Hardcover
I've cooked a handful of recipes in this book: the Filipino Chicken Adobo, a Mutter Pilau rice dish, a thai red curry beef dish, and a Japanese curry rice dish. The Adobo was excellent, my husband thought it was just as good as his mother's (he grew up in the Philippines). The others I altered depending on what was around the house and were mostly very good. I particularly liked the rice dish. Though I altered the recipe to use a rice cooker instead. Great flavors.

Though the book explains the exotic ingredients very well, unless you have easy access to Asian markets, using this book regularly will be difficult. Unless you are a more experienced cooks who will be able to substitute and use the cookbook for great ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional July 26, 2007
Format:Hardcover
So many books have been written about curries around the world that one might wonder at the need for yet another, but several attributes keep CURRY CUISINE: FRAGRANT DISHES FROM INDIA, THAILAND, VIETNAM, AND INDONESIA exceptional. For one, it provides a pictorial journey exploring curry cuisine from around the world - and adding regional recipes, such as an Alloo Curry from Pakistan or a Burmese Pork Curry with Mango. The focus on spice combinations unique to reach region helps reinforce differences in curry choices between them all, making for an outstanding addition to any lending library strong in Southeast Asian cookbooks.
