Simply Ming : Easy Techniques for East-Meets-West Meals

Rating:
Summary: Simply Perfect
Review: Simply Ming is a collection of East-West fusion recipes that are elegant but not too difficult to prepare. Most of the recipes are built around 25 allpurpose flavor bases.Once you learn a flavor base, moving from one recipe to another is simple and easy. Preparation is kept relatively simple and you do not have to be a gourmet to enjoy or replicate these recipes. Ming proves that cooking can be sophisticated but still be fun and easy. This is a very good cookbook, especially for those who like food with an Asian twist.

Summary: delicious and do-able
Review: Since we got this cookbook we have been cooking up an East-meets-West storm. We find the recipes generally clear and easy to follow and there's lots of variety. We find that the entree is often quite simply prepared (e.g. baked or broiled) and the bulk of the effort goes into the sauce and accompaniments. Some of the recipes yield a lot more than 2 people can eat in one sitting but most of the meals make for great leftovers as well.

Summary: Purchase pantry items for cookbook "Master Recipes"
Review: Upon reading the reviews of Ming Tsai's cookbook, it appears that many cooks are experiencing difficulty in purchasing ingredients for the master recipes stated in the cookbook. One easy way to solve this delimma is to shop online for these ingredients. It is easy, fast and induces one to start cooking right away. Go to www.mingspantry.com and click on "pantry items" located on the sidebar. I hope this helps everyone living in "rural areas" or are "just too busy"!
