Customer Reviews

Very usefull for the professional
The book has quite a few recipes and pictures that I haven't seen anywhere else and make my customers quite happy. Easy to follow.

Love this book, love it!
I am a caterer and am always perousing new books for creative ideas, this book is excellent. Warning - do not read on an empty stomach... the growling will ensue!

Not what I expected
As a chef I'm always looking for new recipes, ingredients or ideas. I bought this book because I wanted to get more into asian-fusion cuisine, but the truth is that it didn't help much. There are better books than this one, that's for sure. If you're looking for asian-fusion great recipes I would recommend "Asian Tapas".
