I’m always looking for a new cookbook to peruse and Modern Asian kitchen is a beautiful, delicious looking book to try!

There are lots of familiar recipes in here, like tonkatsu, char siu, mapo tofu etc but also lots of dim sum items, soups, rice and noodle dishes, and many others! Beautiful photos and stories accompany the recipes, which makes this a real special book. Easy to follow steps and fairly simple to find ingredients also make this book worth looking at.

I received a free audiobook copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

I was so excited to find out the creators of one of my favorite baking cookbooks, was coming out with another cookbook!

Modern Asian Kitchen is have a wide variety of recipes from fundamental rice dishes to street food appetizers, dumplings, and not too sweet desserts (my favorite kind!). They even have a whole section of sauce recipes, including a peanut sauce I’ve already added to my cooking rotation. The dishes I’ve tried so far have easy to follow instructions and have turned out super tasty, like the Auspicious Longevity Noodles. Plus, the pictures of each dish are mouthwatering! I can’t wait to try even more recipes from this book.

I’m purchasing this book for the Dim Sum section alone. What a fantastic collection of recipes. We love Asian food in my household, so I can’t wait to get in the kitchen and try some of these out!

Loves the labeling of vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and all the pictures! Even the conversion of both grams and cups is refreshing to see. I highly recommend this book.

Great detailed cookbook with plenty of unique tips for alternatives or even reusing leftover ingredients. I was specifically intrigued with the Pandan Tres Leche and Gochujang Chocolate Mochi Cake. Adding savory elements to desserts really takes it up to the next level and I can’t wait to make these.

I was so excited to get my hands on this one. Just glancing through it before getting into the stories and the recipes, I knew this was going to be such an exciting and delicious ride. I enjoyed the basics mostly, just wanting to know how to make and understand the simple Asian dishes before going into the more complicated ones. Her recipes are thoughtful and interesting, along with the photos, and I was so ready to make most of these dishes. Yes, some recipes are the modern take, but it's the basics that got me.

I’m a fan of Kat Lieu and her previous cookbook, so I was excited to read her new cookbook. I love the blend of the recipes from a mix of various cultures with Kat’s spin on it. I also appreciate how easy and unfussy the recipes are and with ingredients that are easy to find in any Asian markets.

What a beautiful recipe book!

Each photo is drool-worthy and all instructions are written clearly and are easy to follow. Also, lovinggg the mixture of traditional and fusion recipes!

I hadn’t heard of Kat Lieu before requesting this book, but the little snippets about her and her life made me smile— it was like I was reading something a friend wrote.

Beautiful.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for e-ARC of the book.

I like Kat Lieu and was really excited for this book. I love that every recipe comes with a little personal story or a short explanation of a dish. I was pleased with the variety of recipes - some are viral food recipes (like sushi bake or spiral cucumber salad), some are more traditional. Tips and notes that accompany the recipes are helpful and often provide variations of the dish.

This is a great cookbook with a good variety of dishes. The author is chatty and likable, and tells the origins of each dish. There is a photo for every recipe, but no nutritional information.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

I love Kat Lieu and her recipes, and this book is full of fun recipes as well. I'm not much of a meat eater, so this book didn't keep me excited much, however, book contains many recipes that are classic and some fusion, also with beautiful pictures for any visual learners to be satisfied. The recipes are well-written and thorough, so if you want to learn more about Asian food, this book will definitely help you. Any meat, Asian food lovers' dreamy cookbook!

I love reading cookbooks, especially ones that are full of personal stories and recipes.

This book covers a wide range of Asian recipes, with pun-filled descriptions. The recipes themselves are written clearly and the fact the author thanks a list of recipe reviewers is a very good sign.

As I've got a small baby, most of the recipes aren't for me at the moment, as delicious as they sound - I don't have time for multiple cooking steps, but I appreciated the one pot section!

Some of the recipes require specialist ingredients (I've never seen fermented tofu in my local Asian shops but I've not had a recipe to try with it in either!) but there are plenty with ingredients available at the supermarket.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

Holy hell this book is amazing. It starts rather conventionally, with a recommended pantry, common ingredients, and some nice stories about the author's family life. Then it comes out swinging with a perfect recipe to explain "velveting" proteins (Marinating and then parcooking meat, fish or tofu to prevent toughness) and a recipe for miso garlic naan that is my new obsession. Lieu offers pun-filled commentary on customization and serving that is thorough and funny, and her recipes are joyful taste explosions. Asian American food at its wildest and most enjoyable, all from your own kitchen.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I did not know any of these recipes prior to me reading the cookbook. It's well written , aesthetically pleasing and easy to follow. It would make the perfect gift for cooks (seasoned and amateur). Absolutely a wonderful cookbook.

There are so many different recipes from different Asian countries, which I love. Love how there are so many different dishes to try. Going through the cookbook had me salivating from how delicious the dishes look in the pictures.

The hallmark of "Modern Asian Kitchen" is its irreverent and fun approach to cooking, coupled with an unwavering commitment to incredible flavor. The recipes are a testament to this ethos, inviting readers to embark on a journey that celebrates bold experimentation and culinary fusion. This book encapsulates the spirit of "third culture" foods, bridging the gap between diverse culinary traditions and embracing the rich tapestry of Asian flavors.
One of the standout features of this cookbook is the simplicity of its recipes. Lieu's instructions are clear and concise, making the dishes accessible to both novice and experienced cooks alike. The inclusion of a key indicating whether a recipe is gluten-free, vegetarian, or other dietary considerations is a thoughtful touch, catering to the diverse preferences of modern palates.

Always such a delight to read Kat's recipes! A great addition to any kitchen, and I can imagine giving this as a gift or sharing with friends.

Lovely photos and decent spread of Asian recipes. If you like Asian food but only want one cookbook, this is probably the one for you. Personally, I would go for a more specialized cookbook but I am definitely a book hoarder.

Clear, clean and easy to use, the Modern Asian Kitchen, is simply a great tool to make good meals. This covers a lot of Asian meals we all know and love and gives you complete and clear instructions on how to make them. Great illustrations too, which are quite functional. I highly recommend this book.

Wow this was a beautiful cookbook. The photos were crisp and artistically shot, making the food look absolutely scrumptious. There were so many recipes of foods that I actually enjoy eating so I'm looking forward to trying out most of them, especially the Korean soup! I appreciate that this cookbook focuses on more than one type of asian cuisine.

I enjoyed this cookbook though it is above my level of cooking talent at this time. The author tells about each dish before the recipe and I enjoyed learning about it. I also like that she included a tool list at the beginning of the book so I knew what was needed for this specific cuisine. I also loved that the recipes had beautiful full color photos so I know what the dishes should look like.
