Summary: Good for Special Occasions
Review: This book is comprehensive. It covers so much that I still have not been able to get through a quarter of the recipes even though I've owned this book for about 3 years! The recipes found in this book are enticing because not only are the photographs beautiful but the quirky combination of ingredients is hard to imagine. The few recipes I've tried have been really good but I have one major problem with this book. The ingredients used are not items that you can find in any supermarket. One would have to go to a specialty gourmet store or asian market. So, in order to prepare a meal from this book, you have to go out and buy a whole bunch of ingredients (and believe me the ingredient lists are long!). This is a handy book if you want to prepare something different for guests or for your family on a special occasion but not worth all of the time, money, and effort you would have to put in for an everyday meal.

Summary: An excellent fusion cooking book for food lovers
Review: This book will get good food lovers and amateur 'chefs' very excited. After a long search in local book stores, Amazon was the only one to offer a decent selection of Fusion Cooking books. The reviews for this book were outstanding, so the decision to buy was made quickly. The next day, after receiving the book, I invited a good friend. We prepared several of the dishes (Dim Sum and the Swordfish) for our wives. It was an instant hit! The ingredients are easy to find in local stores, so that's no problem at all. Instructions are very clear and the pictures tell it all.There is only one conclusion: Fusion cooking rules and this is the book to buy!

Summary: Everything I've tried in this (lots) is A PLUS PLUS.
Review: Whenever I want to astound someone with food that is uniquely superb I reach for this book. My husband and I rate all recipes that we try and only the ones that get an A plus get repeated. All that we've tried in this book are A plus. A little bit of work required for most, actually a lot, but well worth it.
