I bought this book a while ago and it's really amazing!

Beautiful photos - for every recipe, which is a plus in my opinion, so you don't have to guess how your plate is gonna look after you finish making it.
Delicious recipes, even for drinks.

A must have.

The cover of this book looks like it would relate to kitchen appliances instead of being a wonderful cookbook. It truly is the best of the best with fabulous photographs. I am not new to cooking, but have learned so much from this book.

Interesting, handsome cookbook, presenting fusion-style recipes that seem accessible and easy to prepare. Beautiful photographs of every dish make this a good browsing cookbook. The food stylings are fresh and up-to-date, with a focus on lightness and bright, Asian accents
