Asian Home Cooking is the definitive bible of everyday Asian food from one of Australia’s most trusted voices in the kitchen, Adam Liaw. With 250 recipes spanning 27 countries from India to Indonesia, Liaw shines a light on the dishes that families actually cook at home – meals that are simple, nourishing and full of flavor.
Going far beyond takeaway favorites, this landmark book shows the breadth and diversity of Asian cuisines, from Japan’s nimono (simmered chicken and vegetables) and Vietnam’s canh suon (pork rib soup), to the rasams and sambars of South India and the noodles of Northern and Southern China. Organized by country and region, it reveals the everyday meals that fuel more than half the world’s population, placing each recipe in its cultural context while keeping the focus firmly on the home kitchen.
With Adam Liaw’s trademark clarity, warmth and authority, Asian Home Cooking is both a reference work and a guide for how we cook today. Comprehensive, accessible and meticulously researched, it belongs on every kitchen shelf – a timeless resource for anyone who loves food, family and flavor.
