This quick-reference guide to the rich and varied array of exotic spices, sauces and vegetables of the East covers details from where to buy the best bamboo shoots, and how to cook Chinese longbeans correctly, to how to select the finest fish sauce. It shows the enthusiastic cook what to look for when shopping for ingredients, how to store and use them, and which brands are best to buy. With advice on equipment and cooking techniques, as well as colour photography, this cookbook should be useful to any cook interested in Asian food.

Booklist Review

Hom's ninth cookbook is a decent guide to oriental cooking. Not only are 32 common vegetables (bamboo shoots and jicama, for instance) and 43 major ingredients (bean curd to wonton wrappers) photographed and defined in sufficient depth, but Hom also includes details on equipment and techniques--though, unfortunately, no step-by-step illustrations accompany the latter. Most of the recipes are simple, stir-fry dishes requiring little virtuosity. --Barbara Jacobs
