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


Product Description

Here is the future in a bowl: over 100 slippery, slurpy recipes, from Cantonese Wonton and Noodle Soup to Malaysia's famous Curry Laksa, Korea's Chap Chae, and even Indian Sevian Keer Dessert Noodles. Look up the right noodle in the beautifully photographed noodle IDs, then choose an easy, healthy noodle recipe and discover the power and passion of the noodle.

This is no mere grab bag of meals; these are recipes with roots: recipes that reflect regions, religions, ways of life. Terry Durack has made noodle-slurping noises from Hong Kong to Hunan, from Bangkok to Beijing, from Seoul to Singapore, and from Taipei to Tokyo in his search for the best noodle dishes on the planet.

These are noodles that feed the soul as well as the body; in addition to delicious recipes, Durack's fables delve into the world of the noodle, crossing bridges into the past, finding love at the end of a pair of chopsticks, and peace at the end of a long life. Such is the power of the noodle, the world's most nurturing food.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, January 8, 2000
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-have reference for any Asiaphile., February 14, 2003
By D. Loya (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best Noodle book, April 25, 2009
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.
