The STEAMY KITCHEN Cookbook
101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight's Dinner
By Jaden Hair
Debuts Oct 19, 2009 in bookstores nationwide
Looking to create quick, fresh and simple Asian recipes at home similar to your favorite Asian takeout but too scared to try? Look no further! Jaden Hair's debut title, THE STEAMY KITCHEN COOKBOOK dishes up 101 Asian recipes that are simple enough for tonight's dinner!
2 ½ years ago, Jaden moved from California to a small Florida town without easy access to Asian markets or her Chinese mother's kitchen. Becoming more serious about cooking-and needing a place to jot down all of her mother's kitchen wisdom and recipes-Jaden took her natural talent for making spectacularly simple meals and created from it the award-winning site SteamyKitchen.com and now, THE STEAMY KITCHEN COOKBOOK.
This mouthwatering book offers a feast of contrasts: some very traditional Chinese recipes from Jaden's mother, such as Mom's Famous Crispy Eggrolls; not so traditional but modern take out favorites, like Broccoli Beef or the crowd-favorite Firecracker Shrimp; and some recipes that Jaden's "kidlets" have chosen for you, like Chocolate Wontons and Grilled Pineapple with Chocolate Coconut Rum Sauce-sans the rum for the under-aged crowd, of course!
Along with creating recipes, cooking meals for her family and friends, running her blog and writing a cookbook, Jaden became a one-woman orchestra of cooking, styling, photographing and finally, feeding her family the fruits of her labor. Named as both an ode to her mother's kitchen, where there's always something cooking away, and herself, where "steamy" perfectly describes her fiery-hot personality. THE STEAMY KITCHEN COOKBOOK is chock-full of Jaden's irreverent sense of humor and exceptional cooking. A winning combination of great recipes, gorgeous photos and tongue-in-cheek fun!
