Delicious, modern, versatile recipes influenced by Asian flavours are Lara Lee's expertise. Her recipes constantly feature in The Guardian, The New York Times, Bon Appetit, The New Yorker, Food52 and beyond because they combine incredible Asian flavours with total do-ability.
In this book Lara gives us 80 game-changing recipes that close the gap between classic Asian recipes and easy, quick-to-table meals. Chapters include: brunches like Ginger Tofu Scramble, salads like Easy Gado-Gado with Peanut Sauce, easy noodles like 15-minute Garlic Oil Noodles and many more punchy curries, stirfries and rice recipes from glazed meat to fragrant veg. She also includes pantry swaps and vegan swaps so these fuss-free recipes can adapt to your own busy home kitchen.
Lara Lee is a rising star of the international food scene. This book builds on her breakout debut Indonesian cookbook, Coconut and Sambal, to explore the incredible contrast of sweet, salty, umami, sour and spicy flavours across Asia.

Praise for Coconut and Sambal:
'Her anecdotes are food for the soul, as are the recipes. This book is a gem' - Delicious
'There are classic dishes: a chicken satay with a spicy peanut sauce, a beef rendang bubbling away in coconut milk bath that reduces so much it disappears, a bountiful gado-gado. But Ms. Lee keeps an eye toward innovation and substitutions' - The New York Times
'Coconut and Sambal by Lara Lee has got my mouth watering for the first time in ages' - Samin Nosrat

[Lara Lee] delivers deep comfort and irresistible flavor, fast … With this sophomore effort, she widens her purview to the cooking traditions of East and Southeast Asia. She takes cornerstone ingredients beyond shopworn convention-slicking linguine, say, with the brilliant crimson gloss of Korean gochujang.
Wall Street Journal
Lee somehow manages to make multistep recipes feel chaos-free, guiding you along the way as if she was right there in the kitchen by your side . . . There's something delicious here for you no matter how much effort you're looking to put into dinner tonight.
Epicurious
Lara Lee draws inspiration from foodways spanning the Eastern Hemisphere; she'll lead you on a lemongrass-scented, tamarind-flecked, coconut-infused frolic through the aisles of your local Asian grocery. We tore our way through Sambal Shrimp with Coconut and Cashews, Tom Yum Roast Chicken, Pickled Ginger Soba Noodle Salad, Tofu and Cabbage Okonomiyaki, Lemongrass Pork Burgers and much more. By the end, way more than a splash of soy adorned my copy – and I bet it'll be the same for yours.
NPR

Library Journal
Have fun, take risks, enjoy your food, and enhance whenever you can with vibrant flavors from Asian menus … A fun, colorful option for those who love experimenting with bold flavors.
