Southeast Asian Specialties: A Culinary Journey - Rosalind Mowe, ed. - At first glance Southeast Asian Specialties appears to be a coffee table book, but it is much more. Great photos give way to information on ingredients, cooking methods and culture of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Whole pages devote full-color displays of fish and seafood, kinds of spice pastes, fruits and vegetables, sweets, and herbs. I learned a more than a thing or two even though I spent many months in Southeast Asia. This is also a recipe book. An amazing number of authentic recipes are found sprinkled throughout the book, though unfortunately, in tiny type - my only complaint. | |||||||

Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian Cuisiine - by Christine Siahir Hwang, Wei-Chuan Publishing - (An International Cuisine Series Cookbook) Almost 70 simply presented, easily followed, authentic recipes fill this modest book. After a brief but informative introduction to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, almost 1/3 of the book is then devoted to ingredients and seasonings, spices and herbs, stocks, pickled salads, condiments, sambals and spice mixes. A sweet little book. | |||||||

The Singapore Cookbook: Over 200 Tantalizing Recipes - by - Hilaire Walden - There are over two hundred recipes in this book, and each includes a photo of the final plating as well as three photos of the preparation of the dish. As complexly influenced as the cooking is in this crossroad of Asia, I would have wished for more than just a few paragraphs of information on the cooking and some background for each recipe - so if your interest spills over to the culture and history of Singapore, I would couple The Singapore Cookbook with "Southeast Asian Specialties". For the beginning Asian cook, this is a start with clear instructions and photos, and even for the experienced cook, there are some quick, delicious recipes in here. | |||||||

The New Mrs. Lee's Cookbook: Nonya Cuisine - by Mrs. Lee Chin Koon - The author was the wife of the first president of Singapore and her daughter has re-released the book in two parts by cuisine. She has added a photo glossary, step by step illustrations of food preperation and a photo of all finished plates. I loved the old cookbook released in the 70's as the recipes were truly authentic. This book and the one below are well worth the price. | |||||||

The New Mrs. Lee's Cookbook: Straits Heritage Cuisine - by Mrs. Lee Chin Koon - Same comments as above, but focused more on the Straits Heritage. | |||||||
