I've made Burmese and Thai dishes that taste remarkably like what I've had in those countries, and some delicious Yunnanese recipes although for these I have no basis for comparison. I received Savoring SEA as a gift, and am surprised by how much I use it. The Vietnamese recipes are especially good. If you're looking for a regional cookbook, I'd say these are pretty good. -Amalia |

Phillippe, I'm not sure what you're looking for, do you want to replace the C. Solomon book or add to your collection? If I were giving a gift, I'd give HSSS (it reads very well in addition to being a good cookbook). If I were buying for myself, and I had the Solomon regional book, and liked the results, I'd skip these two and instead look for country-specific books for those cuisines I like the most. I do have multiple cookbooks for SE Asia, and I do use both these books regularly, usually in addition to a country-specific book when making a meal from that country. Don't know if that helps... -Amalia > > Regards, > > Philippe > > > > > -Amalia > > > > > > > |
