BOOK REVIEW: Lotus Asian Flavors by Teage Ezard
Asian food has been the culinary reference for many a chef, for flavor profiles, colorful presentation, the variety of ingredients used, and if I go on the list will be much to endless. There is something that all of us still can't fathom about Asian food. The lingering memories associated with this cuisine has made it sit among the world's food ranks time and again. This wonderful culinary journey of a book details recipes of Asian food to replicate for your dinner table.
The author is a chef who pushes the boundaries of his craft. His groundbreaking cuisine has won him international acclaim; his experimentation with textures and flavors is fearless. Inspired by the roadside vendors and hawker markets of Thailand and Malaysia, and by the simple art of Chinese dim sum, Lotus Asian Flavors is a wonderful collection of new recipes and stunning photographs.
This is food for all occasions, to be shared around a table with family and friends. The dishes are designed to be served generously in bowls or on platters, and eaten with chopsticks, forks or fingers - casual, communal and simple dining at its best.
Teage's food is faithful to tradition, but it always comes with his signature twist. Traditional dishes such as Oxtail Pot Sticker Dumplings and Green Papaya Salad lead to truly inspired creations: Grilled Stingray with Chili Jam and Pomelo and Coconut Sambal.
Gorgeously designed and a delight to cook with, Lotus Asian Flavors is a book to be used and treasured by anyone who enjoys sharing good food.
