Mouth-watering,
This review is from: Modern Asian Flavors: A Taste of Shanghai (Hardcover)
"Modern Asian Flavors: A Taste of Shanghai" is a delightful journey through author's, Richard Wong, heritage and upbringing. The recipes are simple and sophisticated, and like the back cover of the book declares, "bursting with flavor".Wong's recipes are easy-to-follow and show a more modern approach to Asian cuisine. The photographs are gorgeous making each dish look mouth-watering. Chapters included in this book are: Shanghainese Sauces; Cocktails & Appetizers; Soups & Salads; Poultry & Meat; Fish & Shellfish; Vegetables, Rice and Noodles; and Desserts. Some of the tasty recipes you can find in here are: Ginger-tini, Hot and Sour Soup, Skewered Sesame Chicken, and Peach Wonton Crisps. This is a wonderful book!

This review is from: Modern Asian Flavors: A Taste of Shanghai (Hardcover)
I purchased this book on a whim thinking that it would have some authentic Shanghainese recipes. It was a waste of money. Rather, the book is a random collection of not so impressive recipes that the author knows how to make, with no connection to Shanghainese cuisine at all.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful Read !!,

The author's descriptions of his life throughout the book is absolutely charming. His reasons for cooking the way he does brightens all the recipes.
