Book Reviews of 300 Best Stir-Fry Recipes

Book Review: Salt Of The Earth
Summary: 2 Stars

I have been a fan of Ms.McDermott's for a long time, and I often give her books as presents. With the arrival of 300 Best Stir-Fry Dishes I did what I always do when a new cook book comes:I make one recipe by following the instructions exactly. This method tells me a lot about the author and her/his way with and thoughts about food.I found a dish and its georgeous picture for which all ingredients were in the house:Sweet-And-Salty -Shrimp with Pineapple and Carrots, pg 128. When finished, it was as prety as its picture, but we could not eat it. The word SALTY is in the title, but my first bite made me feel sure that I had made a mistake - that would be the only way something this salty could come out of my kitchen. The next evening I made Lime-Splashed Salmon with Chiles and Cilantro, pg.173, and I produced the same sorry result. The ingredients included 2 T Soy Sauce, 2 T Fish Sauce, and "1/2 t salt or to taste".I started writing notes next to my recipes and made Cantonese-Style Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce, pg.125 my last try. This was too salty even over unsalted Couscous - 1 T fermented black beans instead of the listed 2 T would most likely have been enough. I am still convinced that there are delicious dishes that you can make from this book if you cut down on the salty ingredients, especially the frequently used extra salt. As it is, the book should carry a warning from the American Heart Association. An inexperienced cook might be accused of wanting to kill his/her spouse!
So you should enjoy this book while remembering that salt and Soy sauce can be added at the table when things taste flat - just like the way you can do it in a Chinese Restaurant. Inge
