Encyclopedic in its range across SE Asia, this offers a detailed insight into the fascinating, rich cuisine of this part of the world, respectful and illuminating on the cultural and racial diversity which makes the food here so fascinating. A labour of love on Brissenden's part, carried out with impressive commitment to recording the authentic.
