Savouring the East

Faber and Faber, 1996. Minor foxing and yellowing to page edges, otherwise good secondhand condition.

Interspersing the text with his personal anecdotes and photographs, David Burton introduces us to the sights, smells, sounds and ambience of the East: the bustle of its colourful markets,the sedate charm of its colonical-era hotels and the sphisticated cooking of private homes. Over eighty mouth-watering receipes are included, ranging from Chiang Mai curry noodles to Indian, Malaysian and Thai curries to exotic Turkish salads.
