You might have sampled Thai, Japanese, or Vietnamese dishes in your local restaurants but were reluctant to try cooking them at home. Now Madhur Jaffrey's Step-by-Step Cooking brings the freshness and intensity of Asian cuisine into your own kitchen. With carefully selected recipes from Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India, Madhur Jaffrey, in an easy-to-follow, inviting format, offers a broad range of these distinctive individual cuisines united by many common ingredients and cooking techniques.One ingredient -- shrimp -- may be stir-fried with asparagus in Hong Kong, dipped in batter and fried in Tokyo, or stirred into a coconut sauce in Malaysia. A combination of cooking techniques (grilling, steaming, stir-frying, and marinating) and seasonings (chilies, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass) will enable you to produce highly nutritious and delicious food with ease and exciting variety. A basic dish of blanched vegetables becomes unforgettable when tossed with a delectable, instant dressing of grated coconut, red chilies, lime juice, sugar, and chili powder. The bursting, contrasting flavors of hot and sweet, sour and salty can be captured in Thailand's popular Tom Yam Kung (Hot and Sour Prawn Soup); herbs verdant as a summer garden combine with extraordinary results in Thit Bo Kho (Aromatic and Spicy Beef Stew) of Vietnam; and the delectable lightness of India's Kulfi (Ice Cream with Cardamom and Pistachios) is the perfect dessert for any meal.Tantalizing recipes for more than 150 dishes fill these pages -- soups and first courses; fish and seafood; poultry and eggs; meat; vegetables and salads; rice, pancakes, and noodles; dips, sauces, and garnishes; desserts and drinks -- and represent the extensive palate of Asian culinary treasures. Madhur Jaffrey also outlines key ingredients and equipment you'll need and demonstrates essential techniques with easy-to-follow step-by-step photographs. Peppered with invaluable tips, personal anecdotes, and suggestions for complete meals, each page of this cookbook conveys Madhur's lifelong passion for the different regions of Asia and their food. |

Malaysia: A Pictorial History 14002004 documents the history of Malaysia from the beginning of the Melakan Sultanate approximately 600 years ago to the emergence of Malaysia as a modern nation during the last two centuries. The chief focus is on everyday life as it has been experienced by Malaysians of all classes and ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The period before 1850 is documented with sketches and maps and the later period is documented with photographs. Containing over 1,000 images, this book records not only people but also their dress, cultural and religious traditions and social relationships. It shows the changing physical environment in which people lived, such as traditional and modern buildings, and buildings with a mix of architectural influences. The appearance of some parts of the country has changed enormously because of a growing human population, a changing economy and also as a result of war. And yet the country has its idyllic and unchanging side too. The Malaysian peninsula is seen here through the eyes of the people who recorded it in sketches, paintings, engravings and photographs. Many of the first views produced by the 19th-century professionals were cartes de visite and studio portraits. As time moves forward and the nature of photography changed, much of the material becomes more journalistic, and this evolution of the photographic medium is part of the interest of the book. Indeed Malaysia: A Pictorial History will be of interest to all those in search of a vibrant, in-depth portrait of one of Southeast Asia¹s most important nations, as it was and as it is today. Highlights: Includes many rare images that have never been published before; Volume illustrated in full colour throughout; Historical record of Malaysia¹s social and economic transformation |
