Savouring the East Feasts and Stories from Istanbul to Bali

Introduces us to the sights, smells, sounds, & ambiance of the East: the bustle of its colorful markets, the sedate charm of its colonial-era hotels, & the sophisticated cooking of private homes. Over 80 mouth-watering recipes are included, ranging from Chiang Mai curry noodles through Indian, Malaysian & Thai curries to exotic Turkish salads. Burton places the dishes in their historical & cultural context, & intersperses the text with his own photos & personal anecdotes. Explains how, with the aid of a food processor & coffee or spice grinder, hours of laborious preparation can be reduced to minutes, & seemingly complex recipes can be easily prepared.Burton, David is the author of 'Savouring the East Feasts and Stories from Istanbul to Bali' with ISBN 9780788191053 and ISBN 0788191055.
