      A Tropical Culinary Adventure

      At last, here is the book I have long awaited from a food writer I really trust. Wendy Hutton is one of the too few Western food writers on Asian food who knows her subject inside out. She takes the trouble to research painstakingly and then conveys her knowledge and enthusiasm for Southeast Asian food with recipes that really work.

      I have known Wendy for almost 30 years and from the moment we met, recognized in each other a kindred spirit. She was half the editing team who worked on my Complete Asian Cookbook, making an onerous task one of great satisfaction.

      Her Singapore Food is the only other cookbook (besides mine) that I keep in my kitchen and actually cook from. We consult each other on matters culinary and track down elusive ingredients with the enthusiasm of bloodhounds. Wendy has a much more adventurous attitude to food than I have and often sends me jottings from the wild, as it were, where her descriptions of dishes she has tried during her travels in Asia fill me with awe.

      While we might not all live in a tropical country with mangoes dropping from the trees and lemongrass growing happily in the garden, thanks to immigration, a wide range of Asian ingredients is now readily available in most Western countries. This book will open the door to those exciting hot, sweet, sour, salty, spicy and sometimes bitter flavors which make the food of Southeast Asia such a palate awakening experience. Even for those whose culinary aspirations are limited, this book is an inspiring read as Wendy Hutton shares her experiences and her recipes.

      Fabulous Flavors from Bangkok to Bali

      Southeast Asia is my adopted home. I came intending to stay two or three years. More than forty years later, I’m still here. How could I possibly tear myself away from such a fascinating region which also—or could this be the real reason?—offers some of the world’s most sublime food.

      When I first arrived in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, towards the end of 1967, I was overwhelmed by the astonishing variety of food created by the three major ethnic groups: Malay, Chinese and Indian. It was a revelation to someone who previously had only ever eaten Chinese food, considerably СКАЧАТЬ
