Asian - New Holland Publishers - Bog

Regarded as the world's healthiest cuisine, Asian food is traditionally
cooked quickly to conserve fuel and energy. Preparation can be meticulously
time-consuming but also contains the essence of simplicity. Once most
ingredients are peeled, chopped, sliced, minced, shaped and shredded with
concentration and rhythmic ease with a Chinese cleaver on a wooden board,
the wok, a bamboo steamer and long chopsticks or a wooden spoon will take
care of the rest. Asian cuisine is local, authentic, and traditional. It is
rich in taste from the herbs and spices used in the preparations. Asian
cuisine features multicultural dishes from diverse cultures and origins
from Southeast Asia, Europe, America, and around the globe.
