China, Japan and South-east Asia produce some of the world's most exciting cuisines, and they all share a love of steamed food. Steaming food produces an enticing mix of taste, fragrance and texture, which is why it is so popular in Asia, where food is presented and eaten with great attention to detail. Steaming is also extremely healthy - little or no extra fat is added, and the food retains its full nutritional value. Little surprise then that it is now so hugely popular in the rest of the world. This delightful book brings together a collection of over 20 tantalizing steamed recipes. There are tasty appetizers such as Mini Phoenix Rolls and Aromatic Stuffed Chillies, and delicious main courses such as Sticky Rice Parcels and Pan-steamed Mussels with Thai Herbs. Vegetable side orders include Steamed Morning Glory with Fried Garlic and Shallots, and Vegetables with Chiang Mai Spicy Dip. With practical advice on equipment and techniques, this gorgeous little book will provide endless inspiration.
