foreword by nobu

This book truly represents the contemporary flavors of tropical


South and Southeast Asia today. It is unashamedly Asian
without being traditional—reflecting the fascinating blend of
peoples and cultures found in the region. What is particularly
fascinating to me is the interaction between the cuisines—the
new combinations that arise, combining and yet preserving the
distinctive character and strength of the indigenous dishes and
ingredients.

This modern, fresh approach to Asian cooking is the kind of


food I love—honest food that is easy to put together and
guaranteed to please. I have been fortunate to cook at several
of the Four Seasons hotels throughout Asia, swapping tips with
chefs who hail from every corner of the region. Herewith are
presented a selection of their best recipes that are absolutely
perfect for every occasion—from a simple breakfast for two, to
an alfresco picnic or barbecue, to an elegant dinner party with
friends at home.

sensuous beauty?
Fortunately, it’s not essential to travel to enjoy the exquisite
flavors of some of the world’s most exciting and creative
cuisines, encapsulating all that is magical in these exotic lands.
Try any of the recipes within these pages and you’re already
halfway there.
For centuries, some of the most precious produce of the
region has been sought by the West: pepper and cardamom
from India, nutmeg and cloves from Indonesia’s Spice Islands,
cinnamon from Sri Lanka, and galangal root from mainland
Southeast Asia. Today, there’s a lot more than spices on
supermarket shelves. Thanks to increased international travel,
and to migration and the consequent opening of ethnic
restaurants, Asian markets and specialty shops—the diverse
flavors of tropical Asia can be recreated in kitchens around the
world.
This collection of recipes includes the major cuisines of
tropical Asia. While some classic dishes are included, many
