Practical, simple, healthy and delicious are central to Leemei's style of cooking so it's great to see her covering a wide range of Asian cookery with a modern twist here in Lemongrass and Ginger. Asian cooking is one of the fastest-growing cookery trends in the world - and from Chinese to Thai, Indian to Malaysian, Japanese to Indonesian, the diverse tastes, textures and aromas of Asia can be sampled in this beautiful new cook book. With simplicity the key it is Leemei's belief that anyone can succeed in creating mouth-watering recipes from this book - dumplings, perfect sushi, crisp tempura, rich, creamy curries, and spicy salads and stir fries. This is a cookbook that zings with a diverse range of wonderful tastes that are not to be missed.
And a message from the author:
I hope that sharing my passion, knowledge and skills will inspire an interest in food and the origin of different dishes in people of all ages, and help them to appreciate just how closely related food and the lifestyles we live are. The recipes are my take on wonderful, classic recipes of South-east Asia. I live to eat, and love to eat, and I know this will never change. I hope when you are reading and using this cookbook you will be inspired and I manage to set off a similar passion for good, fresh food.
