That comment came from a book that was written about fifteen years ago on the frightful history. Now we have a splendid cookbook where weeds of hope persist. The book itself is a wide format with heavy paper that handles the photographs and the expansive pages well. This book is not made for the kitchen shelf. Rather it ...             Sultan's Kitchen: A Turkish Cookbook32 reviews Ozcan Ozan Periplus Editions, 2001 Wonderful book! This is a wonderful book! I have tried three or four recipes from it now and got rave reviews from my guests. It is a beautiful book as well, the photos and printing are gorgeous and the background info on Turkey is very interesting as well. Definitely a new favorite in my cookbook library!             The Complete Book of Sushi19 reviews Hideo Dekura, Brigid Treloar, ... Periplus Editions, 2004 This book is indeed complete! I bought this book for my sushi-loving-husband as a Christmas gift so that he can make his own sushi. This book is a great investment for the sushi lover. The author's recipes are complete and her directions for making sushi are impeccable. Especially helpful were her directions for making sushi rice - it came out beautifully! She provides instructions for making perfect rice whether you ...             Dakshin: Vegetarian Cuisine from South India56 reviews Chandra Padmanabhan Periplus Editions, 1999 I'd give it 10 stars if I could! I'm a South Indian myself and a total gourmand... apart from the classic "Cook & See" series, this is the book that results in the most authentic taste and flavor-filled dishes! The Cook & See books are translated from Tamil and not very well at that... but the results speak for themselves. This book, on the other hand, is written in English with good instructions... about the spice level, ...             Bangkok Babylon: The Real-Life Exploits of Bangkok's Legendary Expatriates are often Stranger than Fiction6 reviews Jerry Hopkins Periplus Editions, 2006 Absolutely wonderful! As an expat living in Bangkok, I can assure you Hopkins knows this city well, and the characters he describes are the most interesting bunch of characters you're ever likely to read about. Full of fun and panache on the surface, it also has a core of considerable importance: the fact that a person can reinvent him or herself and probably nowhere as easily as in Bangkok. Highly recommended.             Wok Cooking Made Easy: Delicious Meals in Minutes (Learn to Cook) (Learn to Cook Series)3 reviews Nongkran Daks Periplus Editions, 2007 Easy to Use What a wonderful little Wok cookbook! I love it!

I just finished reading it cover to cover and I am amazed at the quality of design and how great the photos are! Well worth the money as this Mr Bensley is a true artist. The designs are inspirational and truely maxamilist....minimalisism is boring!             Filipino Children's Favorite Stories5 reviews Liana Elena Romulo, Joanne de Leon Periplus Editions, 2000 Charming and Humorous Addition for your child's library I was randomly looking for a children's book on the Philippines for my young son, who is half Filipino on his mother's side. I wanted something suitable for a young child, and that would also provide a positive view of Filipino culture and people. I can say unequivocably I found what I wanted in this book. There are charming stories, beautiful illustrations, and a refreshinly positive ...             Thailand Confidential5 reviews Jerry Hopkins Periplus Editions, 2005 a knowledgeable insider's look at amazing Thailand Hopkins book is a clear-eyed, knowledgeable, and insightful look at Thailand by an American who's lived there for more than a decade. He captures the crazy charm of the place without falling victim to the romantic haze that falls over most first-time visitors. He still loves it - the street food, the elephants, the women, the bars, the temples, the gentle people and sharp operators, the jungles, ...             Modern Tropical Garden Design1 review Made Wijaya, Tim Street-Porter (introduction) Periplus Editions, 2007 greatest book on tropical modern garden design, I have ever seen I love it.

There are a lot of striking photos with many new and really modern ideas.             Japan Modern: New Ideas for Contemporary Living3 reviews Michiko Rico Nose Periplus Editions, 2005 Eye-candy -- but also brain-candy I've long been interested in the Japanese approach to design of all sorts, but especially architecture. Coming from a much different tradition, the solutions to problems and needs for shelter are often very different than those arrived at by architects with Euro-American tastes and training. Some of the examples depicted so beautifully and discussed so shrewdly in this volume are rooted strongly ...             Lebanese Cooking3 reviews Dawn Anthony, Elaine Anthony, ... Periplus Editions, 2006 Great!! This cookbok is Great! I purchased this as a gift for my father and he Loved it.

This is one of my very favorites in my personal library and I just wish there were more like it. Not a "how to" but a wonderful book for daydreams. A combination of good writing and gorgeous photographs...always a winner!             Filipino Homestyle Dishes: Delicious Meals in Minutes9 reviews Norma Olizon-Chikiamco Periplus Editions, 2003 Gastronomic Success Though the book sensibly substitutes ingredients found in the Philippines for items that are more readily available in local US stores, the compromise in taste is not noticable (if there even is). All in all, it is a short but very helpful book that taught me how to cook a few homestyle dishes that I know, miss and love. If there is any bane to it, it would be that it did not have more recipes ...             Korean Cooking Made Easy: Simple Meals in Minutes (Learn to Cook Series) Soon Young Chung Periplus Editions, 2007 Flavorful and satisfying, Korean cuisine is a tantalizing balance of tastes and textures--fiery peppers are a counterpoint to mild rice, fragrant sesame oil adds a hint of sweetness to meat and vegetables, and pickled kimchi adds zest with its tanginess and crunch. And, best of all, Korean food emphasizes vegetables and grains, making it as healthy as it is delicious.             New Directions in Tropical Asian Architecture7 reviews Philip Goad, Anoma Pieris, ... Periplus Editions, 2005 Eye Opener This book is a great book for young Filipino Americans who need some inspiration. As a Filipino American growing up in USA, I never really felt any connection with the Philippines. I was brought up by knowing only the stereotypes that sometimes make a Filipino American want to shy with embarrassment. Stereotypes are everywhere within any culture. By reading this book and flipping through the ...             Contemporary Asian Bathrooms (Contemporary Asian Home Series)1 review Chamsai Jotisalikorn, Karina Zabihi, ... Periplus Editions, 2007 Gorgeous book, but not necessarily useful for design ideas This is an undeniably beautiful coffee table book, which shows plenty of photos for bathroom design in Asian countries (Japan, China, Thailand, etc). If what you want is an overview demonstrating how gorgeous a bathroom can be, given an unlimited budget and (often) a lot of space, then you'll probably find this a five-star book. That wasn't what I was hoping for, however, so I'm personaly a ...             Bali Houses: New Wave Asian Architecture and Design5 reviews Gianni Francione, Luca Invernizzi Tettoni Periplus Editions, 2003 Bali Houses Design Being a Decorator, this comes in handy for clients who like the look of the Tropics.
