A Taste of Asia - Authentic Chinese Cooking (Contents list)

[Zan]

This one sounds great - how much is it?
Am thinking a good Mother's Day present.

$30. I've prebooked mine even though my consultant said she had ordered about 40. Can't wait.

[TheCrone]

Must. Get. This. Book!

[thermoheaven]

Ring. Your. Consultant. ASAP!

[quirkycooking]

Hee hee! 

I only ordered 20 - might have to do another order this month!!

Did anyone notice Alvin make his "Steamed Black Sesame Dumplings with Ginger Syrup" (out of this book) in master class on masterchef on friday night? - only thing is he didn't use Thermie to make it. 

[Carine]

Yep, but at least we have the recipe

This book isn't on the thermomix website, how do I buy it ?
Thanks

That's a bit odd delta.  Try your consultant or ring H.O. on their toll free number 1800 004 838.

A note I received from Thermomix marketing:

Also, for the use of rock sugar in the Asian cookbook:

•      There are a number of different products on the market. Some rock sugar are approx 4cm X 4cm in size, while others are smaller
  
•         Thermomix users need to use the smaller pieces or they risk damaging their lids and blades if they try to grind down the bigger rock sugar.  
  
•       Try and stick to the 1cm X 1cm size or smaller rock sugar sizes to prevent this from happening
  
•        If preferred, rock sugar can be substituted with raw sugar.

Thanks for the info Cecilia about the rock sugar,I would hate to damage my blades as they are expensive to replace.

Just last week I found some Palm Sugar in stick shapes in the pantry that had gone as hard as a rock, I couldn't even cut them with a knife - straight into the bin they went.

I rang my consultant and she had it in stock , it cost me $30 and yet I saw one went for $60 plus postage on eBay what's with that , some people don't do enough research oh well I will have mine next week. Oh and I ordered the meat cook book too. ))

I am kind of glad I read this. I was about to order it today but we are more casual family cooks with young kids... I too was thinking (assuming) it was aimed at the more western Asian recipes.

Living in Central QLD there is no where to really buy weird and exotic ingredients.

Bah... now I'm not sure.

I made the steamed tofu from scratch today.  It passed the Husband's taste test!

No more store bought silken tofu for me anymore, I'm making my own!
