This is revised and updated version of Ken Hom's Vegetables & Pasta book. flickr.com/photos/vegefoodie/3012210111 The key difference is that all references to chicken stock and shrimps have been dropped and several new recipes have been included.

It contains recipes from all around south east Asia, many of them adapted for a vegetarian diet.

This book accompanied a Chinese Cookery show on BBC in the UK. It was later updated and rereleased [1995] as Ken Hom's Vegetarian Cookery flickr.com/photos/vegefoodie/3013046158

This edition is not entirely vegetarian; recipes refer to "chicken or vegetable stock" and occasionally feature shrimps.

Recipes are from all over south east Asia; Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China & Korea.… (more)

This is another favorite that shows how simple and easy Chinese cooking can be. Ken Hom gives some of the recipes that his working mother used to put together 4-course meals in an hour, night after night when he was growing up in Chicago's Chinatown. He worked in his uncle's restaurant and also gives us a lot of recipes for those long-time American favorites ... both the restaurant menu version (for Americans) and the "secret menu" version (for Chinese patrons). Hom has been teaching cooking for a long time and it shows. These are very accessible and will please everyone in your family. Believe me, if Hannah likes these meals, then anyone will!… (more)
