This is the latest edition of Charmaine Solomon's influential and iconic The Complete Asian Cookbook. Instantly heralded as a classic when it was first published in 1976, The Complete Asian Cookbook covers 800 classic and contemporary dishes from 15 countries (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, The Philippines, China, Korea and Japan). Written with the home cook in mind, Charmaine's recipes are straightforward, simple to follow and work every time. Recipe and chapter introductions give valuable information about how local dishes are prepared and served, while the comprehensive glossary explains unfamiliar ingredients (which are steadily more commonplace in supermarkets today). The Complete Asian Cookbook is a book that belongs in the kitchens of every household.

This is a VERY VERY old cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I didn't realize until I received the book, that it was printed in 1986. Ingredients are obsolete and better methods of cooking. Condition is great - however, I am not sure why the book gets so highly rated other than people must not have cooked from it. I tried several recipes and they are all not so good. I have to adjust each I have made to make them better and more functional for 2020.

Thorough and Authentic

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've had this book for about 3-1/2 months now, and have tried several recipes from it. So far, I've been impressed with the authenticity of the recipes as well as the thorough explanation of them. I'm pretty much a beginner cook, and this book walks you step by step through every recipe. There are some techniques or ingredients you'll need to Google, but I consider that normal. I think her Chinese recipes are the best so far. She likes Chinese 5 Spice a lot, so if you dont like black licorice, cut the amount called for in half. Cheers!

Excellent Asian Food Cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021

We purchased this to replace an earlier published version we gave to our daughter. We needed to refer back to some of the recipes we used in the past and wished to make again. Recipes are very authentic Asian cooking.

Good Overview

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a big, thick volume of recipes covering India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, The Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan. Obviously the coverage can not be complete for so many regions in one book, no matter how large, but the essence of each is presented. For each region there is a list of utensils and ingredients required to replicate the cuisine. There are one or two full-page color photographs for each cuisine, displaying a typical dinner for the region, as well as descriptions of how the meals are served. The book fulfilled my expectations completely.

Nice!

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

Overall, a really lovely cookbook with recipes from many Asian countries. If you are a cookbook collector or enjoy trying new cuisines, this is a great choice. Americans, be aware that there are some metric measures and British terminology. I tried a few of the Indian recipes exactly as written and they were quite good, although more salty and with less heat than I expected. The instructions are clear and the book is of excellent quality with stay-open binding. I recommend it for adventurous cooks with some experience in the kitchen.

Excellent book, their recipes are the top even if they are classical, they follow the culture and culinary approach of each country, I did bough the book 30 years ago when I was living in Thailand, and was surprise how much the recipes was accurate base on the culinary approach of the country and are very tasty too.

Handy Asian recipe guide

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

I had heard of this cook book from older family members and thought I would give it a try. It is a good reference book for many popular Asian dishes, but due to its focus on many different types of regional Asian cuisine, is less comprehensive if a specific regional dish recipe is needed. Overall, a good starting point for folks who wish to experiment on dishes from South, Southeast or Far east Asian cuisine

Replaced this book for my son in law's Christmas gift. He had the original from many years ago. He is thrilled with the update of his favourite cooking book. I was extremely pleased that this version is a lovely hard back copy. Highly recommend the recipe content too.

I have never made anything from this book that has not turned out scrumptious - an easy boost for any cook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

My mother had the previous edition of this, and it was my Asian cooking bible in the kitchen growing up. I recently moved out so I went hunting for another copy. Absolutely elated that it has been re-published with extra information - I was clearly not the only one who found this book invaluable! I now have this treasure on my countertop once again. I have never made anything from this book that has not turned out scrumptious - an easy boost for any cook! Thank you Charmaine Solomon!

it's an encyclopedia

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book not expecting much, just a few asian recipes, but it's a whole encyclopedia of the recipes in the different countries of Asia. It's quite a heavy book with numerous chapters. So I'm very pleased with it and hoping to make good use of it very soon. Delivery was prompt as well, and the book arrived in excellent conditions.

Wonderful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Amazing clarity, beautifully written (for a cook book), not written by a TV chef visiting somewhere and then changing real recipes into 'my take on' or a 'twist on'. Detailed but not OTT accounts of the different cultures. Some thoughtful descriptions of how to some pronounce words (aimed I am sure for us Brits whose tongues do decide not to play ball with some words) . One of the nice touches is 'store' ingredients for each Country, you will quickly see that with a few tweaks here and there you can make many dishes from several countries without buying lots of specific ingredients that you may only use a teaspoon out of. Mostly its just a fantastic book! Buy it, enjoy it and use it. Other readers are right, if you want glossy photos on every page, this may not be for you but think twice before passing it over. I downloaded this, and am so glad I have. It is without doubt one of the best Asian cookbook I have come across.

Brilliant book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's a really useful cookbook with hundreds of recipes and they're all ordered by their place of origin in the contents page, which is really helpful. It also includes the name of the dish in English underneath its Asian counterpart, and it has pictures throughout the book of different dishes. I bought this as a Valentine's gift for my partner who loves Asian food and cooking, so this was perfect for him and he loves it.
