Book Reviews of The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook: 101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight's Dinner

Book Review: Exactly what I needed!
Summary: 5 Stars

Although I fancy myself a cook, I have never had any experience with Asian (and yes, I mean the entire subcontinent!) cooking. This book has done wonders for me!! I particularly like the helpful sections where Jaden describes woks, steamers, and ingredient substitutions (since generally I would NOT know the difference between cast-iron, Chinese iron, and non-stick woks, and if I had to come up for my own substitution for mirin, it would probably be laughable!).

The wealth of knowledge Jaden shares is enormous, but she manages to write it in a way as if it is two friends talking, rather than professor lecturing to student. I recommend this to anyone who wants to start exploring a new world of cooking, but who doesn't necessarily want to spend $300 with start-up ingredients. I can't wait to give it as a gift to my friends and family!!

Summary of The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook: 101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight's Dinner

"What am I going to cook for dinner tonight?" It's a common lament for everyone, and the answer too often is something unhealthy, unappealing, or both in the form of expensive take-out. Jaden Hair comes to the rescue in The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook, a fantastic new cookbook stuffed with dozens upon dozens of foolproof Asian recipes that are quick and easy to do-all in time for tonight's supper!

Author and food blogger, Jaden Hair (steamykitchen.com) reveals her secret ingredient to create take-out favorite Broccoli Beef, shows you step-by-step in photos how to roll perfect Vietnamese Spring Rolls, how to make Thai Curry in less time than it takes to drive to a restaurant and teaches how, with only three main ingredients, you can fry up the crowd-favorite Firecracker Shrimp. With her irresistible sense of humor and accessible style, Jaden will have you running into your kitchen to start cooking!
