Editorial Reviews

Review

Sitting on a deckchair, planning dinner, we love to read about foods from the Pacific Rim and beyond. "East West Food," edited by Sasha Judelson with photography by Sandra Lane, is a trip around the world through the eyes of 10 innovative chefs.

Mostly, I feel the book is for professionals, but if you've got a wok and a will, there are beautifully illustrated ways to prepare dishes like roasted tomato soup with yogurt. Surprise, one of the major ingredients is V8 juice. Seared tuna au poivre is far from daunting when you read the recipe, and an outstanding dish is made from chicken legs and thighs, orange marmalade and chopped fresh mint leaves. Summer splendor. These dishes have flavors that jump in your mouth and sparkle on your tongue. -- Toronto Financial Post, May 30, 1998

Lots of beautiful pictures, but in the end not so many recipes I've been inspired to try.
