Southeast Asian Flavors: Adventures in Cooking the Foods of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia & Singapore

I'm not oft one to write reviews, but this book is deserving of every bit of praise others have given it. For me, it shames every other cookbook I've bought/read/perused in the last decade. Brilliant crystal clear writing, context, a bit of travelogue and more than a little textbook (in a good way), it begs the reader to delve into food they'd never considered making themselves. Already, I'm plotting my way through the cookbook, and am impressed with the recipes clarity and flavors.The one problem? It's made me question buying any other cookbooks.

A comprehensive book about culture and food. Best ethnic cuisine books are like this one, where everything is explained. Why do they use certain ingredients, how, what are the used for, etc. Not just recipes.It is really good written and the pictures are phenomenal. This books is just not for cooks, but for curious people in general with hunger for knowledge!

I enjoy cooking and reading the stories from this book. I'm vietnamese so many of the vietnamese recipes in the book is very similiar to the ones that I cooked from. I just got the book for a few days, but so far the recipes that I cooked from turned out good. Worth the high price for the book. I enjoyed his writing style. Just about to order his Thai "Easy Cooking book". Happy cooking!

I lived in Hong Kong for four years and traveled around Asia quite a bit. I'm also a foodie but never found recipes that made my dishes taste like the real thing. This book is fantastic. Thorough yet easy to understand, the book also gives you substitutes in case you can't find the ingredients the original recipe demands. An enthusiastic amateur chef I also like to always push the limits of my knowledge and this book is perfect between manageable and advanced.

Coming from Malaysia, I know exactly what this food is supposed to taste like andRobert Danhi has really done a good job explaining the use of ingredients and flavorprofiles. The recipes in the Malaysian section are amazing and he does a great jobsubstituting north american ingredients for Malaysian ones that aren't obtainable here.The chicken and mushroom stew and prawn noodles are truly authentic.

My cousin made the best Roti Canai I tasted, not from a store but from a book and this is the book! No question, I bought it straight away. You will not be disappointed. The other recipes I can't wait to try and the narative is nice to read as well

Great book to discover southeastern Asian flavors from a Chef, teacher, who goes all in doing the research and sharing his authentic recipes.

Great book. Very well written. So much more than recipes.

We actually have a lot of Asian cookbooks ranging from the overview of "Asian" to specific regions e.g. Fuschia Dunlop and Szechuan cooking. This collection can hold its own with the best of the better known cookbooks we have. Very highly recommended, very clearly written, perfect for either a novice or an experienced home cook.

I first learned about Robert through Craftsy. I love Thai food, so I decided to purchase Roberts Craftsy class. Every single one of his recipes was incredible. I have tried many Thai recipes but his are truly authentic and delicious. Trying to search for more of his recipes I decided to purchase this book. I just received it and was surprised by the amount of information this book has. Browsing through the book just made me want to read it from beginning to end, not just the recipe section. I already have a bit of knowledge of basic thai ingredients, but in this book you will find detailed explanations of everything you need to know, with pictures and all. You can find tons of recipes with from scratch sauces. This book is truly a gem and I cannot wait to try every single recipe he shares. Truly a gem.

Have decided to order after our family trip to Malaysia & Singapore. We loved their food so much that after returning back from the trip, I've started to search for authentic Chinese/ Malay cuisine book to recreate those dishes. This book helped me a lot. It does have real Malay peninsula flavour. Definitely recommended.

Diese Kochbuch hat mich schon alleine durch die vielen wirklich tollen Fotos begeistert.Das kochen begeistert auch, die Rezepte können einfach nachgekocht werden und das Resultat schmeckte bislang ausgezeichnet.

Nach Bill Grangers Easy Asia für mich die 2. Offenbarung. Authentisch, leicht nachkochbar, Zutaten auch in deutschen Asialäden zu kaufen. Asiatisch Essen gehen gibt es bei uns nicht mehr. Wir kochen selbst. Das Buch ist auch sehr schön bebildert und ein Muss für jeden Asienliebhaber.
