Sure, the recipes are clear and well-written. The introductions
and explanations are charming, and that incredible of the
Lacquered Roast Chicken looks like exactly what I want to eat
right now. But my favorite parts of this book (which comes out of
a brilliant food magazine run by chef David Chang and food writer
Peter Meehan) are the huge photo spreads detailing exactly which
brands of Asian ingredients the authors favor--sure to save this
intrepid shopper many hours of scrutinizing different bottles of
cooking wine, preserved black beans and jars of spicy chili crisp
in the aisles of her local Chinese supermarket.

[W]hen it comes to gettingquick and delicious Asian-inspired

practical advice on ingredients and equipment and there s simply
no excuse for ordering takeout.
