ABOUT THE COOKBOOK
A boundary-pushing pan-Asian vegetarian cookbook, PlantAsia ingeniously merges traditional techniques and modern, multicultural flavors
Cooks across Asia have been making plant-based meals for centuries—and for just as long, they’ve been evolving new methods to make them taste deeply, richly satisfying. PlantAsia carries on that tradition of innovation, drawing on traditional techniques to challenge and expand what you imagine when you think of modern vegetarian cooking.
Technique-based chapters showcase recipes from more than fifteen countries. Interviews and recipes from more than two dozen contributors offer authentic and layered perspectives on the present and future of Asian cooking. Plus, a detailed guide to buying and cooking with Asian ingredients will help you expand your Asian pantry.
Perfect for adventurous foodies, fans of Asian cuisines in search of inspiring and original recipes, and anyone looking for one-of-a-kind, vegetable-forward meals, this ambitious vegetarian cookbook is a stunning tribute to the incredible flavors, textures, and diversity of today’s vegetarian cuisine.
