I bought this book as a birthday gift for my son-in-law who is a gourmet cook. He had been looking for a copy for years and so was delighted to finally receive one. To top it off, the copy I obtained was not only in "like new" condition, but also signed by the author. Thanks to his Amazon wish list I was able to pull off a major gifting success!

I love Asian cuisine...especially regional Indian cooking. Heather's restaurant in Minneapolis is a jewel. I love hot food, but Sri Lankan hot food is in a different category. It is ubber spicy. This cookbook is a must for Indian curry lovers. Sri Lankan food is just different enough from Indian, you won't feel that anything in this book is duplicative to your Indian cookbooks. Highly recommended book, and please go to the restaurant if you get to Minneapolis!

RARELY HAVE I SEEN A BOOK COME OUT IN SUCH A DETAIL ABOUT SRILANKAN CUISINE.THE SRILANKAN CUISINE IS A COMBINATION OF ORIENTAL & INDIAN CUISINES WHICH HAS BEEN VERY WELL ELABORATED BY HEATHER JANSZ .I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO WIVES WHO WANT TO WIN HUSBAND'S HEART TO COOKERY STUDENTS .

I learned about this book after I met Heather Jansz. It was worth of waiting 3 monthes. When Heather is cooking you can really fell in love with Asian food. She is doing this from her heart and soul! Our eating habbits changed since we met Heather and we can't imagine our meal without adding Thai or chili hot peppers and other Asian Spices. The food is not burning hot, it's deliciously hot, and taste wonderfull. It's makes you feel good, gives you lot's of energy and that's what we love. When we use the book there is no questions on how? why? or what? It's all there. It's sincere and written by a highly professional Chef. We are the lucky ones to know Heather and because we continue discover the best of Asian food and love it more. The book is a treasure to have!
Bon Appetite! Merci Becaup!
