Book Reviews of Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges
Book Review: Like having a restaurant chef in my home
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love this book. I am working my way through it and am enjoying the smells, flavors, and textures of these imaginative dishes on the way. It has become my favorite "go to" cookbook. This is the closest I have come to finding a cookbook that allows the amateur chef to produce a restaurant level meal in the home with reasonable time and effort. The list of resources at the back of the book has been helpful in tracking down ingredients.Book Review: Fabulous cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the recipes do require a variety of unusual asian ingredients, if you happen to live near an asian supermarket or even small asian grocery, you should be able to find most of them (and pretty cheap!). The recipes I've tried so far have been very straightforward (it's not hard to pan-fry fish), but the results have been INCREDIBLE. The man knows something about how to put ordinary ingredient into extraordinary combinations.Book Review: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges

Beautiful pictures that make your mouth watering. The recipes are quite complicated and very impractical (see: "Peking Duck", which should be hanged from its neck in a refrigirator and cooled by a running fan at the same time!!!). The recipes in most cases also require ingredients that are extremely difficult to find and to buy outside the Asian countries where they are commonly used. Not a practical cookbook at all.Book Review: How he gets those great flavors....
Summary: 5 Stars
Very interesting the type of ingredients he uses to produce the amazing flavors of his far reaching restaurants. Some recipes are a bit of work and I can see how making them in mass for a restaurant would make sense, for home, some are a bit too much, but many can be done at home esp. if you have access to an asian market.
I have wowed my friends!
