Traditional Recipes of Laos

Traditional Recipes of Laos
Phia Sing (Author)

New!: $40.00 $34.06 (as of 02/26/2013 02:56 PST)

Pacific Rim

Prospect Books first published this manuscript (from notebooks compiled by the late Master of Ceremonies and Chef at the Royal Palace at Luang Prabang) in 1981. The first edition was a parallel text: Lao on the left, English translation on the right-hand page. Later editions (after 1994) were in English only. The notebooks are a precious resource for those wishing to cook Lao food: the 124 recipes were compiled to give a balanced view of the cuisine (albeit from quite a high-ranking perspective). In the thirty years since its first appearance, materials and ingredients have become easier to source, and the cooking techniques and styles more familiar to us. The dishes, therefore, are very cookable. There is a long prefatory section, written by the late Alan Davidson and his daughter Jennifer, which explains much about Lao cookery, ingredients and equipment. The whole book is plentifully illustrated with drawings done from life by Soun Vannithone and other Lao artists. The introduction is 50 pages long and covers the life of Phia Sing; Lao eating habits and attitudes to food; Lao culinary terms and culinary equipment; and Lao ingredients. The recipes occupy 250 pages and there is a supplement of 10 pages with recipes for Lao desserts (which were not covered by Phia Sing's notebooks). Phia Sing (d. 1967) was Master of Ceremonies and Chef at the Royal Palace of Luang Prabang. The late Alan Davidson was British ambassador to Laos in the 1960s and after a distinguished career in the diplomatic service, turned to writing and publishing on food and cookery. His masterpiece is The Oxford Companion to Food. He was the founder of Prospect Books.

Family-style dining is back in style and has been re-imagined by one of the most prominent chefs in Hawaii, James Beard Award nominee Beverly Gannon.

On the road to Haleakala, Maui's most famous dormant volcano, is one of the island's favorite destinations--where a laid-back atmosphere and top-flight menu welcome both residents and tourists. Developed from the restaurant's ever-popular repertoire, this all-new recipe collection is scaled for sit-down family suppers, lunches, and brunches, with built-in expandability for impromptu gatherings or full-on entertaining. Ingredient substitutions are included to help move dishes from the kitchen to the table with ease, and leftovers are skillfully adapted into future meals. Recipes are organized by the days of the week, based on a schedule Gannon's mother used, and are interwoven with charming family anecdotes.

"Even if you're not from the islands, the vibrant flavors will awaken your senses." --Food Network

"Just like its chef, [the] Hali'imaile General Store is warm, charming, and inviting. What better atmosphere to enjoy the wonderful array of creative dishes? Dining at the store definitely adds one more reason to visit paradise." --Nobu Matsuhisa

When a young girl and her family move from Sicily to country Australia, it is a surprisingly small step in kitchen miles. The tablecloth and stockpot are the same, cardoons and fennel still grow wild on the roadside and the extended family and neighbours gather to make salami in the barn once a year. My Cousin Rosa captures the atmosphere, experiences and recipes of Rosa Mitchell's Sicilian kitchen. Rosa's food is very special: soulful, traditional, family-orientated and utterly authentic. In this beautiful book, her thoughts on life, both Australian and Sicilian, are scattered among the recipes like biscotti crumbs. Chapters offer recipes for antipasto, soup, pasta, meat dishes, vegetables and desserts. The recipes are complemented by stunning photography of both finished dishes and from throughout the preparation process, be that the making of salami the traditional way or the preparation of fresh cannelloni. Gorgeous illustrations and family photographs complete the book.

Pacific Palate: Cuisines of the Sun

Pacific Palate: Cuisines of the Sun
Alaina De Havilland (Author)

42 Used! | New! from $0.45 (as of 02/20/2013 01:05 PST)

Pacific Rim

Inspired by sunny Mediterranean and Asian cooking, the Pacific palate is a multicultural sensation. Polynesian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Samoan, Portuguese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Thai people are just some of those who have had an impact upon the cuisine. In addition, a European and Western influence has recently emerged with the explosion of five-star resort hotels in the 1980s.

This cookbook is about looking at the familiar with new eyes, integrating old and new flavors. For example, a typical Asian dish, the spring roll, is transformed into a spectacular dessert by using a fruit plentiful in the islands -- the banana. The book is also about introducing unfamiliar ingredients that are rapidly becoming available in supermarkets due to the influx of immigrant populations around the world. Asian noodles such as udon and soba are a good example of ingredients that can be found in many stores now but may be intimidating to the average cook familiar with only Italian pasta. Recipes here explain not only how to cook these different noodles but also how to prepare sauces for them.

The methods in this book promote a light approach to cooking, with vegetables cooked just enough to take the raw edge off and with fat significantly reduced. Throughout the book, delightful illustrations enhance the recipes.
