Excellent overview December 29, 2008 Although not an exhaustive compilation of recipes, the dishes chosen are wide ranging enough to get a full taste of Cambodian cooking. I especially like the basic recipes in case an Asian supermarket isn't nearby, and the full descriptions of pantry items, for confidence when in the Asian supermarket. Also, the author has not assumed unavailability of ingredients, substituting without explanation. The author/chef's sense of taste is sublime. I don't feel the need to reduce the sugar or increase the sour flavors, as I do with some other recipe collections. There are a good number of vegetable & vegetarian recipes. One of the best cookbooks I own.
Fabulous, but unnecessary if you own Food & Cooking of Vietnam & Cambodia April 9, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I already have their first book: Food & Cooking of Vietnam & Cambodia, which I love!, so when I heard there was a new one of straight up Cambodian dishes, I was thrilled to add it to my collection. To my disappointment, though, it is exactly the same book, just minus the Vietnamese portion. Yep, very same photos and exactly the same recipes. Can't believe they made money off o' me all over again, and for the very same product! I'm a SUCKA! :)
Repeat recipes February 29, 2008 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The recipes are really good, the layout of the book is easy to follow and there are tons of great photos of the dishes and ingredients. BUT...the recipes are exactly the same as the book I already own called 'Vietnamese Food & Cooking' by the same author. I wish I had known this before ordering the book (which I am now returning). That's why I only give three stars.
The Vietnamese cookbook has more background information in the front section, including many pages describing ingredients (with photos) and some tips on preparation. This Cambodian version has much less. There are two things that are included in the Cambodian cookbook that are not in the Vietnamese one: how to prepare bottled prahok for use in cooking and a recipe for Tuk Trey sauce. I just don't want other people to be disappointed for the same reasons (especially when I was looking forward to this "new" book).
