Since its release in 1976, Charmaine Solomon’s The Complete Asian Cookbook has become one of the most iconic and influential cookbooks in publishing history. It has sold well over a million copies and garnered a dedicated following across the globe. For the first time in its history, The Complete Asian Cookbook has been comprehensively updated and revised, bringing it to a new generation. With a collection of over 800 authentic recipes from countries across Asia, including India, China, Japan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand, The Complete Asian Cookbook remains the most authoritative resource on Asian cookery available today, and and is now available in this convenient ebook edition. Charmaine Solomon started her career in food as a journalist and feature writer for an English-language newspaper in Sri Lanka, where she wrote a cookery column dispensing recipes and food ideas with flair. Descended from generations of talented cooks – a legacy passed on to her daughters Deborah and Nina, who closely assisted in this revised edition – Charmaine is recognised as one of the world’s most knowledgeable and practical writers on Asian cooking. She has taught Southeast Asian, Chinese and international cooking, and continues to be inspired by the food traditions across Asia. In putting together The Complete Asian Cookbook, Charmaine travelled widely through many parts of Asia, revisiting familiar places and discovering new ones to ensure that, as always, her recipe development was completely authentic. In recognition of her contribution to food media, Charmaine was made a member of the Order of Australia in 2007.

Great book, shame about no index

Reviewed in Australia on 25 March 2017

Verified Purchase

The book itself is excellent--I've owned a hard copy for years and used it a great deal. It's falling apart and I wanted the ebook as a replacement. Unfortunately, it fails as an electronic recipe book due to having no index. Cross-referencing and indexes are essential for cookbooks. I would far rather have purchased a pdf version.

Lacking in pictures.

Reviewed in Australia on 19 June 2016

Looks okay but is missing a couple of vital things. A contents page and importantly pictures. So few pictures - how am I supposed to know what the meal should look like let alone be enticed to cook it. I am an average cook hoping to be inspired by delicious looking recipes. Now I don't know whether or not I will be inspired. Back to Pinterest.

The only thing that would have made it better was a recipe index there are so many recipes ...

Reviewed in Australia on 16 January 2015

An incredible Asian cooking guide, now I know why they call Charmaine Solomon the Queen of Asian Cooking. It has a massive number of top recipes as well as a lot of information about Asian cooking. The only thing that would have made it better was a recipe index there are so many recipes to go through to find the one you want, however it is set out by country. .I rave to everyone about this book and do believe if you like Asian food I greatly doubt there is a more informative recipe book with so many enticing recipes.
Thank you Charmaine for sharing your knowledge and recipes in such a generously priced book.

Brilliant one-stop Asian Cookbook. It may not cover every recipe you would like from every country but that would be too much to expect from one book. However, it gives a broad sample from many countries and a very large selection from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Also heaps of useful cooking tips for various forms of Asian cuisine.

I have never made anything from this book that has not turned out scrumptious - an easy boost for any cook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2017

Verified Purchase

My mother had the previous edition of this, and it was my Asian cooking bible in the kitchen growing up. I recently moved out so I went hunting for another copy. Absolutely elated that it has been re-published with extra information - I was clearly not the only one who found this book invaluable! I now have this treasure on my countertop once again. I have never made anything from this book that has not turned out scrumptious - an easy boost for any cook! Thank you Charmaine Solomon!

it's an encyclopedia

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book not expecting much, just a few asian recipes, but it's a whole encyclopedia of the recipes in the different countries of Asia. It's quite a heavy book with numerous chapters. So I'm very pleased with it and hoping to make good use of it very soon. Delivery was prompt as well, and the book arrived in excellent conditions.

Wonderful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Amazing clarity, beautifully written (for a cook book), not written by a TV chef visiting somewhere and then changing real recipes into 'my take on' or a 'twist on'. Detailed but not OTT accounts of the different cultures. Some thoughtful descriptions of how to some pronounce words (aimed I am sure for us Brits whose tongues do decide not to play ball with some words) . One of the nice touches is 'store' ingredients for each Country, you will quickly see that with a few tweaks here and there you can make many dishes from several countries without buying lots of specific ingredients that you may only use a teaspoon out of. Mostly its just a fantastic book! Buy it, enjoy it and use it. Other readers are right, if you want glossy photos on every page, this may not be for you but think twice before passing it over. I downloaded this, and am so glad I have. It is without doubt one of the best Asian cookbook I have come across.

Replaced this book for my son in law's Christmas gift. He had the original from many years ago. He is thrilled with the update of his favourite cooking book. I was extremely pleased that this version is a lovely hard back copy. Highly recommend the recipe content too.

Everyone in my family has this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2019

The generations of my family who have purchased this book (literally 3 generations!) tells everything. I will say though that you need a LOT of ingredients to make these curries but they are v authentic and it covers cuisines from multiple countries. The photography is v outdated but the authenticity of the recipes makes up for it!
