review 1: 4/11 - I've been 'reading' this for nearly 3 months now, but it's not a hard read, it's really interesting and appetite building and there are plenty of pictures. It's so appetite building, in fact, that I've been writing down most of the recipes in a work book of my own (the photocopier died recently, otherwise this process would go much faster). I like Stein's style of writing a page or two of introduction at the beginning of each chapter (each chapter details a different country that he visited on his Far Eastern Odyssey show), tying the book to the tv show of the same name by talking about the filming of the show, his crew and why he loved the specific country of that chapter etc. I've seen the show as well and I think that they complement each other - in the book y... moreou get the proper ingredient amounts and method, on the show you get to SEE how the recipe is cooked, maybe learn a new process while watching him do it.
review 2: Recommended. Upside is some really unusual recipes from Malysian Nyonya cuisine. The Green Papaya salad is stunning. The downside is that the book is expensive but if you have family/ friends to buy for who'd like an introduction to the cooking traditions of South East Asia this is a good choice. But please note that it's not suitable for strict vegetarian as shrimp paste is often used in otherwise vegetarian recipes. less
