I am a new cook and this book is indispensible to me, as it covers the basics of making really good food. The pictures and the recipes are absolutely beautiful and, overall, it's just divine. Without doubt my favourite cookbook.

Interesting, handsome cookbook, presenting fusion-style recipes that seem accessible and easy to prepare. Beautiful photographs of every dish make this a good browsing cookbook. The food stylings are fresh and up-to-date, with a focus on lightness and bright, Asian accents
