Steam Cuisine: Over 100 Quick, Healthy and Delicious Recipes for Your Steamer [Hardcover]

Marina Filippelli (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 22, 2008

Steaming is one of the healthiest, simplest, and most versatile cooking methods: not only does it retain the nutritional qualities of ingredients more than any other technique, it doesn't require any fat. So whether the aim is a better diet or simply the tastiest food possible, steaming is the perfect option. Using any kind of steamer from a stovetop metal steamer or a wok to just a pan of water and rack, the possibilities are endless: delicious dim sum, couscous, spicy meat dishes, perfect rice, mouth-watering fish dishes, and desserts. These 110 tried-and-tested, easy-to-follow recipes from around the globe will please many a palate. Recipes are included from China and Southeast Asia, offering such delights as Prawn and Pork Won Ton, Scallop and Coriander Dim Sum, and Duck Rolls with Spring Onion. There's also inspiration from the Middle East and North Africa, with the likes of Whole Quail with a Pomegranate Marinade and Seven Vegetable Couscous. Paper envelope steam-baked recipes from the Mediterranean include Mussels, Monkfish, and Clams in a Saffron Broth and Lemony Chicken Parcels with Garlic, Chard, and Chili.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Good Choice for Someone Who Lives in the US, August 23, 2009

This review is from: Steam Cuisine: Over 100 Quick, Healthy and Delicious Recipes for Your Steamer (Hardcover)

You should be aware that this book is published in the UK. This means that some ingredients need translation (caster sugar = superfine sugar, groundnut oil = peanut oil), some ingredients are difficult if not impossible to obtain in the US (bream and brill fish), and the measures present an obstacle as well. I was very disappointed.
