There are so many different recipes from different Asian countries, which I love. Love how there are so many different dishes to try. Going through the cookbook had me salivating from how delicious the dishes look in the pictures.

The hallmark of "Modern Asian Kitchen" is its irreverent and fun approach to cooking, coupled with an unwavering commitment to incredible flavor. The recipes are a testament to this ethos, inviting readers to embark on a journey that celebrates bold experimentation and culinary fusion. This book encapsulates the spirit of "third culture" foods, bridging the gap between diverse culinary traditions and embracing the rich tapestry of Asian flavors.
One of the standout features of this cookbook is the simplicity of its recipes. Lieu's instructions are clear and concise, making the dishes accessible to both novice and experienced cooks alike. The inclusion of a key indicating whether a recipe is gluten-free, vegetarian, or other dietary considerations is a thoughtful touch, catering to the diverse preferences of modern palates.

Always such a delight to read Kat's recipes! A great addition to any kitchen, and I can imagine giving this as a gift or sharing with friends.

Lovely photos and decent spread of Asian recipes. If you like Asian food but only want one cookbook, this is probably the one for you. Personally, I would go for a more specialized cookbook but I am definitely a book hoarder.

Clear, clean and easy to use, the Modern Asian Kitchen, is simply a great tool to make good meals. This covers a lot of Asian meals we all know and love and gives you complete and clear instructions on how to make them. Great illustrations too, which are quite functional. I highly recommend this book.

Wow this was a beautiful cookbook. The photos were crisp and artistically shot, making the food look absolutely scrumptious. There were so many recipes of foods that I actually enjoy eating so I'm looking forward to trying out most of them, especially the Korean soup! I appreciate that this cookbook focuses on more than one type of asian cuisine.

I enjoyed this cookbook though it is above my level of cooking talent at this time. The author tells about each dish before the recipe and I enjoyed learning about it. I also like that she included a tool list at the beginning of the book so I knew what was needed for this specific cuisine. I also loved that the recipes had beautiful full color photos so I know what the dishes should look like.

I liked Modern Asian Cooking a lot!!

These are the things that I liked best in the book:
- A section about Fundamentals of Asian cooking.
- Introducing each dish with a background of the dish, personal anecdotes and/or what to expect (for example recipe execution and technique, the flavor profile of the dish).
- Offers a wide variety of recipes from the different countries in Asia.
- Measurements are given both in cups and grams/ ml.
- Info on yield.
- The instructions are clear and easy to follow since each step in the cooking process is numbered.
- The dessert section!

This book will be perfect for beginners in asian cooking as well as foodies who would like to broaden their asian cooking repertoire. I'm already looking forward to trying all the recipes in the book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

An absolutely delightful book of great recipes from Asian countries, adapted for home kitchens and easy to make.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to look at and review this cookbook. This is a beautiful cookbook. Each recipe has a photo which is so helpful when cooking new cuisine. It is difficult to read if you have to use your phone. There are a lot of ingredients and small print. I don’t know that I would be the target audience for this cookbook. It would be great for a foodie that enjoys new ingredients and trying new cuisines.

Pros: "Asian" encompasses so many different cuisines and cultures, so I was curious to learn about the Pan-Asian recipes included in this book. I was so inspired when looking at the photographs of the meals. I also appreciated the practical information, including the ingredient lists and that recipes use metric and customary units.

Cons: The biggest con is that I did not have any of these meals to eat while reading the cookbook!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for the opportunity to read this book.

So many creative ideas! I’m so excited to get some use out of this book! Amazing! Asian food is an absolute staple in my diet so these recipes suit me so much!

Wonderful Asian cookbook! I found this cookbook to be thorough and accessible to even the novice in the kitchen. I really enjoyed the back stories and photos to accompany the recipes. It just felt like and all around approachable and useable cookbook. As someone who loves Asian food but doesn’t know much about cooking it, I know I will be referencing this book for years to come!

A great collection of unique and traditional Asian recipes. I am so excited to try so many of these dishes. There are beautiful pictures and imagery featured throughout the book of the wonderful foods featured and family pictures from the writer. The recipes are easily made vegan or gluten-free in many cases, so adaptable and easy to follow recipes. Great for chefs everywhere.

We could say TELL ME WHAT YOU EAT AND I'LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE!
COOKING has become a lifestyle thanks to the media.
This visually and content-wise modern and high-quality cookbook offers healthy recipes that are the exact opposite of fast food,
The recipes are creative and awaken the palate.
Although the ostrich cuisine is different, I will try a couple of recipes.
Praises.

Thank you for this ARC I enjoyed the recipes inside and the instructions are clear. None of the recipes felt revolutionary but I like having all of these in one book and look forward to integrating these into my meals more.

Modern Asian Kitchen is an incredible cookbook, filled with delectable dishes inspired by Asian diaspora. Kat Lieu's recipes are delicious, and most of them involve fewer than 10 ingredients and not a huge amount of time input. Brief anecdotes are peppered throughout, and the writing is personal and approachable without reading like a blog. Can't wait to add this one to my cookbook shelf once it's published.

Beautiful photos! I can’t wait to try a few of these recipes! What a wonderful collection of recipes!

An interesting and useful set of recipes to broaden the reader's horizons regarding Asian foods - essentially Vietnamese but with input from other Asian cuisines set against an American kitchen. Order is fairly typical - fundamentals, garden party, street food, one pan, sharing, rice, noodles, sauces and a few desserts, the latter often with lurid pandan or ube colours. There's a useful list of 'most useful' ingredients with nothing especially difficult to get these days of internet shopping. Measurements are in cups with metric in brackets; each dish is illustrated, has a little personal note of relevance from the author and offers helpful tips, vegan alternatives etc where relevant. The recipes are all pretty straightforward and sufficiently detailed for a cook new to this cuisine to cope and cook with some confidence. A useful book all round. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy to review.

Some strong recipes alongside gorgeous pictures.really enjoyed the anecdotes and writing style
The milk bread is a favourite here
