A Perennial Feast: Food, Flavours, Restaurants & Recipes by Kim Inglis
A showcase of culinary excellence at the YTL group of hotels and resorts, this book is much more than a restaurant review or a recipe collection. Delving into the culture of a variety of cuisines, stretching from Malaysia and Southeast Asia into China, Japan and Europe, it takes readers on a gastronomic journey. Beginning in Malaysia, the heart and home of the YTL group, it showcases both island resorts and city heritage hotels and restaurants, all the while giving an overview of Malay cuisine. Recipes for traditional Malay fare are combined with some East meets West fusion food and some innovative seafood dishes. The book then branches further afield into the snowy wastes of Hokkaido and the cityscape of modern Shanghai, all the while exploring both recipes and cuisines from Japan and China. Sections on England, Bali, Thailand and France follow - all showcasing iconic properties in full colour photography. Foodies will savour the finest in gastronomy with sustainable ingredients and preparations from the simple to the complex, the natural to the exuberant. At-home chefs will find the carefully researched signature dishes, selected by their celebrated chefs de cuisine for authenticity, taste and visual appeal, easy to recreate in their own kitchens. All in all, the book is a veritable feast for the eye and the palette - and will delight those interested in a culinary adventure.
