There is so much to love in MiMi Aye's wonderful Mandalay - Nigella LawsonOne of the Financial Times' Best Books of 2019One of the Observer's 20 Best Food Books of 2019A flavour explosionInfluenced by its neighbours and the countries closest to it, Burmese food draws techniques and ingredients from Thailand, India and China but uses flavours of its own to make something subtle, delicious and unique. The food of Burma is little known, but MiMi seeks to change that within these pages, revealing its secrets and providing context to each recipe with stories from her time in Burma and her family's heritage.Beginning with a look at the ingredients that make Burmese food unique - as well as suitable alternatives - MiMi goes on to discuss the special techniques and equipment needed before delving into chapters such as fritters, rice and noodles, salads, meat and fish and sweet snacks. Within these pages you'll find 100 incredible recipes, enabling you to create a taste of Burma in your own kitchen.

Recenzii

There is so much to love in MiMi Aye's wonderful Mandalay: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen but, even before I got on to the recipes, I felt that a book that told me that in Burma people greet each other by asking whether they've eaten yet, belonged in my life... I am so grateful to Mimi Aye for a really loving and hungry-making introduction to a fascinating cuisine.
Knowing next to nothing about Burmese food, it's a glorious revelation. Autobiography, history and recipes all rolled into one magnificent whole. A brilliant, beguiling book.
Real insight into a cuisine I don't know nearly enough about... and a delicious love letter to Burma.
A gorgeous book full of narrative and recipes, with an unignorable cover in the brightest of yellows and the deepest of crimsons. It schooled me lightly in a culinary Burma, a country whose food is influenced by its proximity to China, India and Thailand, but which is much more than simply an amalgam of that. For example, the repertoire includes a profoundly developed interest in fritters. Apparently, the Burmese love deep-fried stuff. This is something we can all get behind.
Aye is a gifted recipe writer and opinionated champion of the food of her family... This is a book to read as well as cook from, packed with evocative imagery.
It's rare to come across a book that opens up an entirely new cuisine to us and Mandalay does exactly that. Burmese recipes that combine the deliverable with the authentic, written with calm authority leavened with personal touches from an engaging personality. Buy and learn.
A readable, personal collection of stories and recipes from a country [MiMi] refers to as 'home'... Enlivened withfamily snaps and beautiful food photography, it's a brilliant introduction to Myanmar's food culture.
MANDALAY is an utterly charming, enlightening collection of food and stories, written with authority and a clear sense of the author rarely seen in the 'cookbooks by region' shelves of a bookshop.
Mandalay: Recipes and Tales from a Burmese Kitchen by MiMi Aye offers surprises and inspiration with its accessible recipes. It isn't intimidating but just pushes culinary boundaries down a tasty road to Mandalay.
Held close to one's chest and handed down along bloodlines, woman-to-woman, recipes carry great weight in Burma... Aye's account of Burmese food is invitingly personal, interspersed with family photos and stories of travels. It's also highly educational, with sections devoted to eating and serving customs, staple ingredients and alternatives, and "Why MSG is A-OK."
In her beautiful book Mandalay, MiMi brings fresh flavours right into British homes.
