Chinatown Kitchen by Lizzie Mabbott

Chinatown Kitchen by Lizzie Mabbott

South-East Asian food is more popular than ever before, but what ARE all those mysterious ingredients in the South-Eastern section of the supermarket - or, even more so, in your nearest South-East Asian market or supermarket? Lizzie Mabbott identifies key ingredients, explains the differences between the 77 types of noodles (not counting "Pot") and tells you how to use them. AND she provides all the recipes you'll need to cook your own delicious, pan-South-East Asian meals at home.

I've been writing about food for years, but even I find the dizzying selection in Asian supermarkets bewilderingHow to differentiate between the different sorts of tofu? When to use ho-fun or udon? How to tell your gai lan from your choi sum? What the heck is gochujang? And why did nobody tell me that belachan, terasi, mam tan and kapee are all the same thing? Lizzie Mabbott's mission to demystify these intimidating emporia and talk you through using their wares in a series of delicious, accessible recipes is an inspired one. And she does it with wit, clarity and humour. - Guardian

Lizzie is a brilliant cook who knows her way round an Asian supermarket. I love her recipes; they're vibrant and inventive.
