    <body><![CDATA[I really wanted to like this book.  On the plus side, it's an all color, beautiful book.  On the negative side, I found the recipes were quite repetitious.  There is one dish that is shown with seafood, then chicken, then pork, then beef.  Why not simply say that the meal can be made with either seafood, pork, chicken, beef, etc?<br/><br/>The recipes are also not very interesting or tasteful.  I felt that other cookbooks, such as Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetarian, had recipes that were simple and flavorful.  I tried several different dishes in this book, but none of the results were worth repeating.  The recipes are not *bad*, they just aren't very good.  Too bad.]]></body>
