I'm a student in USA. I came from Asia. When I was in my country, I never cooked. In this small town I stay now, there's no good Thai or Chinese food in an affordable price. This book really helps me. Some details in some dishes may differ from I experienced in my country, but very similar. This book guarantees succesful and delicious food.My american friend wants to buy this book for his mom and I like him, so I wish somebody reprint it...pleas..please. However if you're a great asian chef, this book may make you bored. Sorry for my broken English.

In the past, I haven't had that much success with cookbooks. I would find myself up to my elbows in ingredients without the faintest idea what it meant to mince or blanche. With this cookbook, it was a breeze... Anne Willan's "Look & Cook" Asian Cooking provides task by task photos of how to work with and add ingredients into what I previously viewed as tricky recipes. It also shows what the ingredients look like that you will need which can be important with Asian cooking that can ask for such things as "tree ears" plus it shows how the dish should look once it's done. I've tried quite a variety of the recipes in this book and was pleased with the process and the end result. I had a great time making food and best of all, it tasted great. I'll definately try other books in her "Look and Cook" series. And I will whole-heartedly recommend this one to both the beginner and well versed cook. Enjoy!
