'Blue Ginger' is a beautiful, very personal collection of recipes from South-East Asia. They combine traditional classics with modern twists, fusing Asian and Western culinary traditions and disciplines. So while many of the recipes have classic Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai roots, they have been adapted to take advantage of the best and freshest of ingredients.
The author, Les Huynh, owns a popular Asian restaurant in Sydney, Australia. Having moved to Australia from Vietnam and having cooked in Thailand, his food fuses the best of east and west. The evocative, vivid photography encapsulate this inspirational and unique approach. His straightforward recipes ensure that everyone can create the exotic flavour and sophistication of 'Blue Ginger' in their own homes.
The 90 recipes include light Asian salads, tasty starters, curries, noodle dishes, vegetarian and meat mains as well as desserts, such as coconut crème caramel. Beautiful and practical, this is a perfect present.
