Editorial Reviews

Review

"Each chapter begins with a detailed, illustrated glossary of these aromatic ingredients, and many of the imaginative recipes, which range from Fresh Tuna with Citrus, Starfruit, and Jicama to Crab Soup with Lemongrass, Tamarind, and Mint, are shown in gorgeous color photographs. The text is a pleasure to read, and the recipes are enticing."—Library Journal, starred review

Product Description

Heavenly Fragrance introduces the art of using Asia's most aromatic cooking ingredients to prepare food with wonderful fragrances to excite both the palate and sense of smell. Since over three quarters of what we taste in fact comes from smell, the aromas produced by our food are vitally important to the enjoyment that comes from eating.

Inspired by fond memories of fragrant cooking since her childhood days, author Carol Selva Rajah has included in this book a collection of new and traditional Southeast Asian dishes for anyone wishing to serve the best flavors of the East at home. With chapters on aromatic herbs and flowers, aromatic fruits and nuts, and aromatic spices, pastes and seasonings, these recipes will incite the senses and inspire the soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely photographed dishes, February 3, 2010
By George "geoherb" (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book has many beautiful photographs of dishes. The first part begins with descriptions of aromatic Asian herbs. The book also includes aromatic Asian spices and seasonings, such as mirin and hoisin.

The index is inadequate. I have a hard time finding some of the recipes I know are in the book. The index does not list individual ingredients. You have to know to look for mango recipes, for example, under the Drinks and under the Salads headings.

Every recipe I have tried has been good. The measurements and instructions are very clear.
