There's a 'The Ways Of The Matriarch' cookbook? I loved that programme
but I won't buy it. I copied down all the recipes from the Arts Central website.

If he/she's in Hong Kong, then why complain about the lack of food there?!
And as for food like bak kwa, it's labour intensive, not really worth your while. 
anyone got the recipes? -

Went to browse at Borders today and my, I really love their cookbooks section!!
I ought to inventory my cookbooks library! It's gonna be pretty sizeable! -
Hmm... time to hit the bookstores to check if there are new cookbooks!
-
One newly-published cookbook with v. nice pictures came to my attention yesterday
It's called "Eastern cuisine: the best in Asian food" & features recipes from China through to India, Vietnam, and Japan. Verrrrry drool-licious! -
I'm the el cheapo cook who downloads recipes from the internet and they have some pretty good ones too.
Chris have a few cookbooks though. He is a great fan of Jamie Oliver though I think his books cost a bomb

y'll r making me hungry...

I think there will be three more locally-published cookbooks that I shall try to get before my departure.
Cecilia's book on Chinese Herbal Cooking, Terry's on the same subject, and one new book, 'About Wraps'. -
I've come to realise that for Chinese cuisine, there are handy books that are under $5, published from Taiwan / China / Hong Kong, that give really authentic recipes of home-cooked Chinese food!
The sad thing is, they're all in Chinese!
Biangz! My Chinese is like rotten, man!
But, the recipes were so authentic, I've actually bought a few cookbooks. Next, the daunting task of trying to read and make sense outta them! Looks like this box of Chinese cookbooks shall have to be packed with an Chinese - English dictionary! -
What r their titles?Originally posted by Rhonda:I think there will be three more locally-published cookbooks that I shall try to get before my departure.

Sorry, cannot recall.Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:What r their titles? -
OK, guess where I managed to find the titles of the books?Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:What r their titles?
The NLB online catalogue!
Here they are :
Cooking with Chinese Herbs, Terry Tan
Betty Saw's Ultimate Herbal Cookbook, Betty Saw
The Family Herbal Cookbook, Cecilia Tan
Terry Tan's cookbook is a new edition with a few new recipes. It's easy-to-follow.
The other two are recommended too - Betty Saw is a prominent cook and cookbook author from Malaysia. She used to be Betty Yew, I think, before she got married.
Cecilia Tan is another prominent cook and cookbook author, also from Malaysia. She has another cookbook on Penang cooking as well. -

Ah... the Master Chef!Originally posted by Master -_-:I only got Alain Ducasse's cookbook -
Actually, Master, I would like to ask - How often do you actually cook French cuisine?
And, don't you own any cookbooks of local / Asian cuisine? -
Mmm...Nonya bak chang.Originally posted by Rhonda:OK, here's a cover shot of one of the books I mentioned :
