BIG Congratulations to our 2024 Cookbook of the Year, Tony Tan’s Asian Cooking Class!

Books Kinokuniya boasts one of the best collections of cookbooks in Australia. Every year we select a stand-out, stylish, original and practical cookbook from our fantastic range to highlight as our Cookbook of the Year. Previous year’s winners have included Ester by Mat Lindsay, What I Cook When Nobody’s Watching by Poh Ling Yeow, Everything I Love to Cook by Neil Perry, to name a few.

This year we are delighted to present the Kinokuniya Cookbook of the Year Award to Tony Tan’s Asian Cooking Class by internationally regarded chef, teacher and mentor Tony Tan.

In this new book, Tan shares for the first time more than 150 of the most cooked, beloved and personal recipes from his vast collection. It is comprehensive, conversational, detailed but not complicated, and demonstrates a depth of knowledge and passion for Asian cuisine that is unparalleled. With its encyclopaedic heft, gorgeous design, and clear, unfussy layout, Tony Tan’s Asian Cooking Class is a beautiful book that celebrates the flavours and stories of Asian food and cooking.

A book for beginners and connoisseurs alike, Tan teaches his contemporary, sometimes adventurous approach to the most important inspirational and evergreen dishes from Malaysia, China, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and beyond. From wok sensations to more elaborate dishes, street foods and original creations, Tan’s warmth, erudition and rigour set his food apart. He moves seamlessly between traditionally distinct cuisines, contextualising them for the home cook. Enhanced with insight on subjects from the wonder of the wok, to the art of cooking with duck and the essential pantry, this book is a joyful celebration of modern Asian cooking.

Tony Tan’s joyful recipes and gentle lessons in the essential ingredients, techniques and dishes will make this book a wonderful, essential addition to the bookshelves of home cooks and foodies. A fantastic gift idea!
