Asiatique: 500 recipes, Hachette Pratique

Choose a Japanese dish, make Chinese dumplings or explore Korean cooking: Asiatique gathers 500 recipes in one volume. This 384-page Hachette Pratique book also travels through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. It combines a wide choice of dishes with explanations of cooking techniques.

From techniques to cuisines

The contents begin with basic recipes and techniques. Chapters then cover China, Japan, Thailand and Cambodia together, Vietnam, and finally Korea. A recipe table closes the book. This arrangement lets you look for an idea by cuisine or return first to a basic preparation.

The extracts show how to shape gyozas and wontons, along with stir-fried noodles, sushi and maki. The book also covers cutting ingredients and rolling spring rolls. Savoury recipes take the largest share, with some desserts too: it is not devoted solely to baking or to one national cuisine.
