A Book for the Adventurous at Heart...and Stomach:
Are you culinarily curious - a fan of exotic food shows from Anthony Bourdain to Man vs. Food?
Are you bored with standard takeout staples - wondering if there's something more to life than Americanized Lo Mein, or the California rolls served at the grocery counter?
Ever gaze in the windows of a Chinatown store, wondering what exactly the jars and bottles contained - eager to try, but wishing there were a guidebook to help with the translation?
Welcome to that book.
Written for fans of exotic food and flavor, From Brunei and Beyond brings readers on a tour through east and southeast Asia, blazing a culinary path through countries as diverse as Japan, Malaysia and Macau. Written as a primer for Westerners, each chapter offers a summary of the country, explaining essential vocabulary and describing common meals, desserts, and drinks for each culture. For those seeking even more information, helpful appendices include listings of Asian Fruits, Nuts and Seasonings, Noodles and more.
Designed to be read either straight through, or with a focus on the countries of your choice, From Brunei is your key to a world of new and exotic flavors.
So dig in - because life is too short to eat familiar food!
