This was a recipe in . I made it because the name intrigued me, and I was expecting an impressive dish. From the book:
This recipe, using a pilaf-type technique, was adapted by the Thais and named after the Sultan, in honor of the priceless spices used in the dish.
The recipe:
1 3-pound chicken
4 cups […]

Finally found a source for this spice blend online. Has anyone ordered from Yatatex? The shipping, though, if ordering only the Kanzuri, comes to $9.90, so I’m paying more for having it sent here than for the product itself. Methinks I’ll ask my local Japanese shops first if they can order it […]

I’ve loved everything I’ve tried […]

Ken Hom’s is special to me because before Deh-ta Hsiung’s book came out, it was my indispensable guide to Chinese ingredients. Two other books which I’ll post about later are also essential guides […]

I’ve talked about this cookbook before, by Nina Simonds. It’s another favorite, not so much for authenticity as for the health information and ideas one can find in it. Ms. Simonds talks about her personal experiences with Chinese food — specifically those used for healing. It’s an exceptional introduction to Chinese […]

I’ve been perusing my dim sum books lately because I’m looking for stuff that does *not* contain wheat or eggs (as to be expected, there isn’t a lot, save for bean-curd wrapped things and little meat dishes)…. I will have to rework many of the recipes to come close to something that my allergic family […]
