An absolute stonker of a book - enormous in size, range, achievement, ambition. If you have any true interest in food and cooking, you need this book. Nigella Lawson

It is an ambitious undertaking to write a book that encompasses the spirit of how Asian households cook. Adam meets that challenge with humility and rigor -- proving that authenticity isn't a fixed destination, but something we each arrive at through our own hands and history. Nik Sharma

There's nothing better than simple home cooking done well, and Adam has filled this book with it. I've already bookmarked plenty to cook during the week. A great book. Andy Hearnden (@AndyCooks)

Phwoar! What a book! Adam Liaw's Asian Home Cooking is a truly inspired book. Masterful and profoundly knowledgeable, I am in awe of Adam's knowledge of Asian food. He takes us on a journey into the Asia's diverse cuisines that is not only personal - just read his story on Hainanese chicken rice - but it is also a cookbook that is approachable with savoury recipes that make you want to rush into the kitchen and cook with pleasure. A must-have. Tony Tan

Adam Liaw's Asian Home Cooking is the sort of cookbook you'll reach for again and again. Rich with recipes, stories and hard-earned kitchen wisdom, it feels like an invitation into Adam's own home and the many places and cultures that have shaped him. Rachel Khoo

A beautifully written, trustworthy companion. Ben Shewry

A joyful, deeply personal guide to the everyday dishes of Asia, Asian Home Cooking by Adam Liaw draws on years of travel, research and lived experience, and features more than 200 authentic, accessible recipes that bring the flavors of the world's largest continent into your kitchen. These are the dishes that families actually cook at home - meals that are simple, nourishing and full of flavor.

Going far beyond takeaway favorites, this landmark book shows the breadth and diversity of Asian cuisines, from Japan's nikujaga (simmered beef and potatoes) and Vietnam's canh chua ca (sweet and sour fish soup), to the rasams and sambars of South India and the noodles of Northern and Southern China. Organized by country and region, it reveals the everyday meals that fuel more than half the world's population, placing each recipe in its cultural context while keeping the focus firmly on the home kitchen.

With Adam Liaw's trademark clarity, warmth and authority, Asian Home Cooking is both a reference work and a guide for how we cook today. Comprehensive, accessible and meticulously researched, it belongs on every kitchen shelf - a timeless resource for anyone who loves food, family and flavor.
