Noodles have become a new culinary craze for very good reason — they feed the soul. Here, the sophisticated palate meets the comfort zone with 113 recipes that feature 20 different noodle types. Gorgeously photographed full-page plates accompany recipes from China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Laos, India, Burma, and the Philippines, which include Cantonese Wonton and Noodle Soup, Soba with Eggplant and Miso, Malaysian Curry Laksa, Korean Chap Chae, and Indian Sevian Keer Dessert Noodles. Each is a one-bowl meal that is satisfying, healthy, and delicious. “A terrific guidebook for an Asian-noodle aficionado in training.” — Cooking Light

Editorial Reviews
Review
Soma Books is releasing a stand-out weekend cookbook--"Noodle" by Terry Durack. In the opening lines of the introduction, Durack confesses his passion for this humble food, erasing any tendency toward silliness: "To witness the birth of a noodle is a glorious thing. I have listened, spellbound, as an 85-year-old noodle chef in Beijing told me why the act of making noodles helped him make sense of the world." Serious cooks brave enough to proceed will be well rewarded. What follows is a strikingly produced and practically organized tour of Asia throgh the curvaceous path of the noodle. -- ForeWord magazine, August 1999
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I love this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Noodle (Hardcover)
Beautifully photographed, lovingly and humorously written, 'Noodle' is simply superb. First readers are introduced to the various noodles of the world in the Noodle ID section. Then readers are treated to truly wonderful Asian recipes, country by country. (I do hope that the author writes a follow-up focusing on European and American culinary uses of the noodle.)A great book that honors a great, comforting food. Thanks, Terry Durack!

This is a must-have reference for any Asiaphile.,
By D. Loya (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Noodle (Hardcover)
Terry Durack has written the penultimate reference book for all serious noodle-heads, or wannabes. If you've ever wandered the aisles of an Asian market, enchanted yet baffled by fresh, dried, yellow, green, white, thin, fat and medium noodles...get this book. Noodles are ID'd with photos, then identified in 3 or 4 languages, how-to-cook, how to serve and recipes follow. Fabulous recipes and, as a bonus, you'll be educated AND entertained by Durack's wicked sense of humor. No cook should be without this one!!

The very best Noodle book,
This review is from: Noodle (Paperback)
I am 72 and an expert Chinese cook but have had a great urge to get into noodle soups and dishs. I have been in the orient enough to have experienced the love of noodles so a month or so ago I ordered one each of the Noodles books that Amazon offers. When this one came in I was captured from the very first photograph. The author has it spot on. His organization is very smart starting with two pages on each type of noodle and then recipes by the nation. I have gotten thru about half of them and I will finish them all. I have my favorites but havent yet had one be "unsubmitworthy."
You can buy all 5 noodle books like I did or just buy this one...you will not need another.
