Review:
Asian Fusion is a wonderful reference and cookbook for anyone interested in
Asian vegan recipes and cooking. The book begins with sections on the
special Asian ingredients and special cooking equipment and utensils, and
then presents country by country recipes that stretch from India to the
Philippines.
In Asian Fusion Chat Mingkwan has substituted plant based seasonings for the
fermented fish seasonings used in many Asian recipes, so that all of the
recipes are strictly vegan.
One of the things we liked best about the book is learning how to achieve
the authentic Asian flavors and the combination of ingredients, so that even
if all the ingredients are not available in markets near us, we were able to
tweak the recipes with similar available ingredients.
