Asian food is generally healthy anyway. But, whatever.
I suppose that we shouldn't think about how
steamy our
kitchens will get cooking this stuff. ha
Beautiful photos.
Even if you don't want to purchase the ebook, you might want to get two free recipes found on
the book's Amazon Kindle webpage. One is for Thai Larb Chicken Lettuce Cups, the other is for Sake-Steamed Mussels.
PLEASE READ: The (sole) 1-star rating for this ebook was from a reviewer who noted that it was really hard to browse recipes [in this ebook?] on the Kindle. There is not a note on the ebook's webpage about the ebook being optimized for larger screens, as there is for the ebook cookbook that I'm posting next, but you might want to be aware of the possibility that this is the case. FYI--both of these cookbooks are from imprints of Crown Publishing.
