Make Your Next Shopping Trip a Successful and Fascinating Journey.
Peppered with over 400 illustrations, plus stories about the ingredients used in every major Asian cuisine, this guidebook identifies and tells you how to use the vast array of meats, fruits, vegetables, noodles, tofu, rice, and delicacies.

Format:Taschenbuch
This small paperback not only demystifies the Asian grocery, but also the Asian recipe and menu. I was able to quickly look up items that I couldn't spell but had long been curious about because the book is organized by the sections in the grocery. After quenching my initial curiosities, I had to sit down and read the interesting book cover to cover. Each ingredient is discussed as to appearance, taste, texture, uses, history and quality with references to preferred brands or possible substitutes. There are a few basic recipes included to try right away, but this book best serves as a supplement to other Asian and vegetarian cookbooks and in preparation for shopping or dining. My only disappointment was not finding the recipe for Sweet Thai Tea listed in the index but omitted from the content.

This is an interesting book that is packed with information. Using an actual store as an example, the author describes where to locate grocery items and what they look like. Recommendations are given for specific brands and suggestions for storage and cooking are provided. The book is well-organized and comprehensive - I could only think of a couple of items not included - and is written with considerable care and attention to detail.

At first I was thinking of giving this book to an American freind who likes Asian foods. After reading this book, I decided to keep it for myself. You would be suprised how little an ordinary ethnic Chinese knows about other Asian foods, not to mention those indecipherable ingredients in asian grocery stores. This is a very useful book, not just to the westerners, but also to the asians.
