Top chefs discovered some Asian vegetables several years ago. But despite a mushrooming interest both in vegetables and in Asian flavors, there is still very little information available to help home cooks identify, choose, store, and--most importantly--cook these delicious and nutritious foods.
Rosa Lo San Ross, a New York-based cooking teacher and caterer who grew up in Hong King and Macao, guides us through Asian markets with Beyond Bok Choy: A Cook's Guide to Asian Vegetables. Drawing on her tours of Chinatown for western chefs, her experiences with her students, and her childhood memories of meal and markets in Hong Kong and Macao, she de-mystifies a mystifying subject and opens a new world to the home cook. Her explanatory text, combined with Martin Jacob's elegant photographs, will help everyone identify and buy these unfamiliar vegetables. Her 70 recipes--some classic Chinese, some original fusion recipes--will send adventurous cooks first to an Asian market and then into the kitchen. For those cooks who are also gardeners, there are cultivation tips and a list of sources for Asian vegetable seeds.
