Review:

"The tone throughout is equal parts exuberant and instructive, and a glossary at the back lays out a lexicon of delicious masochism. Vivid color photography depicts the foods in context-a Thai market vendor ladling outbowls of the tangy soup; cumin-spiced lamb kebabs sizzling on a grill in Xinjiang, China-and the recipes are, on the whole, very accessible for anyone who can take the heat. As food writer Tom Parker Bowles says in the book's introduction, 'This is realfood, pulsing with vibrancy and delight, bringing a truly happy tear to one's eye.'"
