All Asian Cookbook

By Jacki Passmore
Spring Books - 1979

I found this book in a charity shop, beat up with the spine broken and food stains on the pages and after looking at the chapters and some of the recipes i decided to save it and give it a good home. It has repaid me well, the book takes recipes from all over asia and true some of the chapters are small. but when you get some history about the food its interesting and for the late seventies the book is very authentic. the food ive cooked from it has been delicious and better than some modern cookbooks on the subject.
All i can say is if you see this book looking lonely and unloved at a carboot or in a charity shop buy it, if you give it a chance you wont regret having it on your bookshelf.
