Food and Travels: Asia - Tapa dura

Soups, noodles, curries, stir-fries, rice dishes - Asian food has been adopted by the West and it seems we can't get enough of it. Simple to prepare, clean tasting, and stylishly presented, it is the ideal food for home cooks who want great food with minimal effort. But Alastair brings much more than the food of Asia to your table - he brings extraordinary travel photography taken over many years too. Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Bali and India are all covered in this irresistible book.

In 2003 alone, Alastair Hendy has been voted Best Food Journalist and Best Food Photographer at the World Food Media Awards and shortlisted for Magazine Cookery Writer and for Visual Work at the Glenfiddich Awards. He writes for numerous magazines and has also been a columnist for The Sunday Times Style magazine. He is also author of the book Home Cook.
