Malaysian Cooking introduces the art of using Malaysia's most aromatic cooking ingredients to prepare food with wonderful fragrances to excite both the palate and sense of smell. Since three quarters of what we taste comes from smell, the aromas produced by our food are vitally important to the enjoyment that comes from eating. Inspired by fond memories of fragrant cooking from her childhood days, author Carol Selva Rajah has included in this book a collection of new and traditional Malaysian dishes for anyone wishing to serve the best flavors of Malaysian food at home.
