Asian Home Cooking : A cook's guide to the everyday dishes of Asia

"It is an ambitious undertaking to write a book that encompasses the spirit of how Asian households cook. Adam meets that challenge with humility and rigor — proving that authenticity isn't a fixed destination, but something we each arrive at through our own hands and history.” Nik Sharma  “Adam Liaw's Asian Home Cooking is the sort of cookbook you'll reach for again and again. Rich with recipes, stories and hard-earned kitchen wisdom, it feels like an invitation into Adam's own home and the many places and cultures that have shaped him.” Rachel Khoo "There’s nothing better than simple home cooking done well, and Adam has filled this book with it. I’ve already bookmarked plenty to cook during the week. A great book.”  Andy Hearnden (@AndyCooks) “Phwoar! What a book! Adam Liaw’s Asian Home Cooking is a truly inspired book. Masterful and profoundly knowledgeable, I am in awe of Adam’s knowledge of Asian food. He takes us on a journey into the Asia’s diverse cuisines that is not only personal – just read his story on Hainanese chicken rice – but it is also a cookbook that is approachable with savoury recipes that make you want  to rush into the kitchen and cook with pleasure. A must-have.” Tony Tan “A beautifully written, trustworthy companion.” Ben Shewry A joyful, deeply personal guide to the everyday dishes of Asia, Asian Home Cooking by Adam Liaw draws on years of travel, research and lived experience, and features more than 200 authentic, accessible recipes that bring the flavours of the world’s largest continent into your kitchen.
