The Occidental Tourist – more than 130 Asian-inspired recipes (Stan Frankenthaler and Sally Sampson)

Product Info

This is a 2001 book by the chef-owner (at that time) of Salamander Restaurant in Boston. The author grew up in Savannah Georgia and learned cooking from both his grandmothers. He cooked his way through the University of Georgia and the Culinary Institute of America. I love that the first 70 pages are devoted to getting the reader ready to cook. The essential pantry, essential equipment, spices and rubs, stocks, loads of info on oils, dipping sauces etc. Then you are armed for success with the 130+ recipes that follow. The chef gives tips and comments along the way. This is a 2001 hardback that appears to be a first edition. It is in very good condition with dust jacket.
