Charmaine Solomon's Complete Asian Cookbook is now an amazing twenty-five years old. To celebrate the anniversary of this classic cookery book it has been fully revised and updated, making it just as fresh as when it was first published.

I had been looking to explore Indian cooking and this book was recommended to me. It is actually more than I bargained for--it covers about 15 different nationalities. It is a book for people who like to cook, not just have "ethnic" food. I have only tested the Indian/Pakistani recipes, but I have yet to be disappointed. Sections are dedicated to Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, The Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan as well. Each nationality starts with a "spice rack" section that lists the spices that are needed for the recipes in that section. There is also an introduction which gives information on how to make things that will be needed for recipes (such as garam masala and ghee in the Indian section). Then recipes follow--the Indian section is about 80 pages with ~2 recipes per page. Ms. Solomon includes information on substitutions should certain ingredients not be available. So far I have found the recipes to be excellent. I look forward to testing the other cooking styles as I find space to expand the spices I will need for those foods.
