Following on from his hugely popular Barbie , Bloke's and Family cookbooks, Kim Terakes brings us more iconic Great Aussie recipes. This time, it's all about Asian food. This isn't about the authentic street-food dishes we've sampled on our travels, but the Asian food we eat here in Australia - whether it's dining out in Chinatown, ordering a Thai takeaway or knocking up a stir-fry at home. Jam-packed with over 150 recipes, The Great Aussie Asian Cookbook takes us on a culinary journey through China, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. With chapters on soups, finger foods, noodles and rice, stir-fries, salads and curries, all the classic dishes are here, including pad Thai, laksa and salt and pepper squid. And, to help you tell your bok choy from your gai lan, the book also includes an illustrated glossary of Asian fruit, vegetables and herbs. Written with Kim's trademark wit, warmth and wisdom, The Great Aussie Asian Cookbook is a celebration of the Asian dishes we all know and love. Visit the author online at: kimterakes.com
