BOOK REVIEW: The World's Best Spicy Food by Lonely Planet
As Malaysians, our tongues are accustomed to the spiciness of our food. From devilish Devil's Curry to Assam Laksa, to Fish Head Curry and even Nasi Kandar, our taste buds hanker for that warm hug and a pinch on the cheek by these spicy dishes. But do you know that it isn't only Malaysia that has its fair share of spicy goodies?
Take a taste-bud-tingling- tour of the world's spiciest cuisines. Explore the culture behind dishes from Sichuan hotpots and Malaysian laksas to Mexican salsas and eye-wateringly hot curries. 100 classic recipes in this book will enable you to bring the world's spiciest foods to your home.
There is also a glossary of exotic ingredients with suggestions for easy-to-find alternatives. For example, if you don't have Gula Melaka in your pantry, don't fret! Use regular brown sugar instead.
Evocative profiles of each dish show you where to find the best examples when you're on the road. Written by acclaimed food writers from around the globe, this book is an indispensable guide to find your hot fix anywhere anytime.
After reading this, it sure set me on a culinary trail whenever I went travelling. So if you are one for the spice trail and want to try authentic dishes on its homeland, this book is definitely the one for you.
