Staff Review
Even if you don't cook, this book will be a very nice addition to your collection or you can use it as a coffee table book. It contains tons of recipes with gorgeous photographs of each beautifully garnished dishes, ranging from bite-sized appetisers to main courses and desserts. There's a taste of Malaysian cooking as well as Australian (western) styled recipes. Poh has also included photographs of actual ingredients - the brands she uses whether in bottles or packages which could be really helpful as it gives us an idea of that to look for when we go to the market / grocery stores.
Oh, just a turn of the pages, it's really making me hungry for some dumplings and kuih!
