Burma is a land of golden pagodas, mighty rivers, and generous deltas. While the beauty of the Burmese countryside has long been famous, its cuisine has been something of a secret until now. This unique volume of over 75 recipes, collected from all over Myanmar, reveals the treasures of Burmese cooking. Among the exciting dishes are the national favorite, Rice Noodles in Fish Soup, tangy Kaffir Lime Salad, and hearty Pork Balls cooked in Sweet Soybean Sauce.

Awesome Burmese Cookbook,
This review is from: Food of Burma: Authentic Recipes from the Land of the Golden Pagodas (Periplus World Food Series) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent cookbook for Burmese food. It not only contains numerous authentic recipes but it also has explanations on Burmese history, traditions, cooking methods, and Burmese ingredients. Recipes are easy to follow and illustrated with colorful pictures. I am from Burma (now living in US) and found the cuisines in the book to be a genuine Burmese food. Recipes are not westernize like in many other Asian cook books. If you are a Burmese in overseas or a fan of exotic food, this is definitely a must have book

Highly recommended for fans of spicy Asian dishes!,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food of Burma: Authentic Recipes from the Land of the Golden Pagodas (Periplus World Food Series) (Hardcover)
Burmese cookbooks are hard to come buy: there are relatively few in print, and this joins only a handful of competitors to bring the food of Burma to the modern kitchen. Fine color photos of completed dishes supplement dishes which do require access to an Oriental market, but which are surprisingly easy to produce. Fans of spicy Asian dishes will welcome this Burmese presentation.
