Wow this recipes are incredible. I’ve never made dumplings at home but I can now. There are so many recipes I absolutely cannot wait to try so many that I never would have attempted before this book!

This one grew on me. On a quick flick through there was nothing that really caught my eye. I am glad that I decided to go back to it and give it more time.

Hadn’t heard of “velveting” proteins and thought it was a typo when I first read it. Then I read the description and it made sense (marinade protein, then blanch for 40-60 seconds, dry off and the stir fry - it makes a difference).

Most of the recipes have a long list of ingredients. Now to try and source some Three Crabs fish sauce. I usually go for Squid Brand but will try the crabs.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I don't cook. However, I could use this book to make it look like I can. This book is about a modern Asian kitchen, and there are multiple kinds of cuisines, such as Chinese and Vietnamese dishes.
The author starts with the basics, telling you the best way to cook rice, which is a staple. Then there is a list of what kinds of spices you need to keep in your kitchen to recreate these tastes.
There are several different recipes, with beautiful photos of every finished product. The cooking itself is simple, even for someone like me.
While I don't eat much meat,I still feel I could enjoy these dishes if I made vegetarian versions. There was a wide variety, and everything looked amazing.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

My husband and I love eating Asian food. Since he is vegan, it's difficult for him to eat many of his favorite dishes. While not a vegan cookbook, Modern Asian Kitchen recognizes that many people limit the amount of meat in their diet and offers many vegan and vegetarian recipes (gluten-free too!). The cookbook has a plant-forward approach, meaning that their are more plant-based recipes than meat-based. It's a perfect cookbook for those who wish do add more plan-based eating to their diets. The recipes are yummy, the photos are delectable and ingredients are very accessible. The cookbook is a must for anyone who loves eating healthy Asian dishes!!

Modern Asian Kitchen just might be the cookbook that gets me to step outside my comfort zone in the kitchen. The directions are easy to follow and everything looks so yummy! Despite not liking seafood, I might just attempt to make some for my family.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley.

I received a copy of this eBook from NetGalley for an honest review.

The pictures made me hungry for Asian food. But where to start? This book is a good introduction to Asian cooking with tips on how to use a wok and other tools. The instructions are good though I'm not sure how well I could make these items. More pictures or step by step instructions might be helpful. Having said that the actual making of the food may just be easier then I'm making it.

I love the stories written throughout the book. It makes the cookbook feel more personal and special. There was a nice variety of recipes from different Asian cultures and overall the cookbook was well-organized and pleasing to the eye. A few of the recipes that I’m interested in include the Hong Kong Cafe-Style Baked Pork Chop and Rice, the Sizzling Sisig, the Green Onion and Kimchi Korean Pancakes, the Cheesecake Baos, and the Gochujang Chocolate Mochi Cake.

Thank you to Net-Galley and to the publisher for providing me a copy of the cookbook in exchange for an honest review.

Modern Asian Kitchen has a good amount of accessable recipes which are doable and instantly recognizable accompanied by beautiful photographs.
There are also recipes which are more in depth and would need a specialist store for some ingredients which I also love, a wonderful way to learn new techniques and flavors.

A solid cookbook with amazing pictures, vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free options, and easy to follow steps!

There are so many recipes that I can't wait to try out!

I’m always looking for a new cookbook to peruse and Modern Asian kitchen is a beautiful, delicious looking book to try!

There are lots of familiar recipes in here, like tonkatsu, char siu, mapo tofu etc but also lots of dim sum items, soups, rice and noodle dishes, and many others! Beautiful photos and stories accompany the recipes, which makes this a real special book. Easy to follow steps and fairly simple to find ingredients also make this book worth looking at.

I received a free audiobook copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

I was so excited to find out the creators of one of my favorite baking cookbooks, was coming out with another cookbook!

Modern Asian Kitchen is have a wide variety of recipes from fundamental rice dishes to street food appetizers, dumplings, and not too sweet desserts (my favorite kind!). They even have a whole section of sauce recipes, including a peanut sauce I’ve already added to my cooking rotation. The dishes I’ve tried so far have easy to follow instructions and have turned out super tasty, like the Auspicious Longevity Noodles. Plus, the pictures of each dish are mouthwatering! I can’t wait to try even more recipes from this book.

I’m purchasing this book for the Dim Sum section alone. What a fantastic collection of recipes. We love Asian food in my household, so I can’t wait to get in the kitchen and try some of these out!

Loves the labeling of vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and all the pictures! Even the conversion of both grams and cups is refreshing to see. I highly recommend this book.

Great detailed cookbook with plenty of unique tips for alternatives or even reusing leftover ingredients. I was specifically intrigued with the Pandan Tres Leche and Gochujang Chocolate Mochi Cake. Adding savory elements to desserts really takes it up to the next level and I can’t wait to make these.

I was so excited to get my hands on this one. Just glancing through it before getting into the stories and the recipes, I knew this was going to be such an exciting and delicious ride. I enjoyed the basics mostly, just wanting to know how to make and understand the simple Asian dishes before going into the more complicated ones. Her recipes are thoughtful and interesting, along with the photos, and I was so ready to make most of these dishes. Yes, some recipes are the modern take, but it's the basics that got me.

I’m a fan of Kat Lieu and her previous cookbook, so I was excited to read her new cookbook. I love the blend of the recipes from a mix of various cultures with Kat’s spin on it. I also appreciate how easy and unfussy the recipes are and with ingredients that are easy to find in any Asian markets.

What a beautiful recipe book!

Each photo is drool-worthy and all instructions are written clearly and are easy to follow. Also, lovinggg the mixture of traditional and fusion recipes!

I hadn’t heard of Kat Lieu before requesting this book, but the little snippets about her and her life made me smile— it was like I was reading something a friend wrote.

Beautiful.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for e-ARC of the book.

I like Kat Lieu and was really excited for this book. I love that every recipe comes with a little personal story or a short explanation of a dish. I was pleased with the variety of recipes - some are viral food recipes (like sushi bake or spiral cucumber salad), some are more traditional. Tips and notes that accompany the recipes are helpful and often provide variations of the dish.

This is a great cookbook with a good variety of dishes. The author is chatty and likable, and tells the origins of each dish. There is a photo for every recipe, but no nutritional information.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.
