5.0 out of 5 starsBeautifully done.
By Burmabooks on January 13, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I love his book. As a Burma book collector I am usually dealing with dry academic works, poorly written novels or amateurish personal accounts. This book comes as a pleasant surprise. From the attractive dust cover with its double sided printing to the hsun ok patterned end pages and paste downs and heavy covered glossy text block, the whole feel is one of great care, quality and warmth. The text is complemented with numerous photos of the recipes as well as vintage photos and quotes from Burma writers. Congratulations to M. Polkinghorne for the beautiful design.

I didn't count the recipes but there are plenty to choose from. I was surprised however that ohn-no kyaukswe (chicken coconut noodle soup) a top Burmese favorite was not included. I would have liked to see an index of Burmese names.

This book should be in every burmaphile's library. It would make an elegant gift.

5.0 out of 5 starsA return to an earlier life
By Jim from Oz on April 12, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
My wife was born in Burma and left in 1948 when Burma became independent. We recently enjoyed a short holiday in Myanmar (once was Burma) where she was able to reconnect to the various houses, schools, hospitals, churches, etc. that she attended in her early childhood. The entire family (we were accompanied by my son and his wife) were totally taken with Burmese cuisine, to the point where we now hold Burma parties, dress up in longyis and cook all sorts of Burmese dishes. This book, which is comprehensive, is in itself, a Burmese adventure to read and a valuable source of Burmese cooking art.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Burma Cookbook
By dr keith mayne on May 23, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This beautifully written and produced book about Burma(Myanmar) is just that. Much more than a cookbook. The photographs and literary quotes from the colonial Raj era, together with the focus on the iconic Strand Hotel, anchor the text, which includes classic dishes such as Mohinga and Tea Leaf Salad. A unique travel experience. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful book and a ton of recipes
By Vicky Khoo on April 10, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I certainly did not expect so many recipes. Also interjected with photos and explanations about ingredients etc etc a few recipes on Burmese drinks which I had no idea existed. Honestly, I have not tried cooking any recipes yet however i have cooked Mohinga before taught to me by a Burmese lady . I am enjoying reading through the recipes slowly but surely.
