A culinary excursion to tropical cuisine from Asia and the Pacific Rim...
The cuisine of Asia Pacific is a fascinating mélange of ingredients, methods and dishes with a strong influence of the Chinese cuisine. The cuisine here also reflects the variety of cultures and traditions, the variety of people and beliefs, the variety of climates and geography. If coconut and rice are the most important ingredients many spices, herbs and roots such as turmeric, ginger, curry, chili, cumin, lemongrass or kaffir play also an essential role.
Through these pages, all Relais & Châteaux chefs from Asia Pacific want to celebrate and demystify the flavors of the East by sharing their passion and some of their recipes with you, combining traditional and modern approaches.
