Joys and Subtleties: South East Asian Cooking

This is the very first cookbook that I bought, more than 30 years ago. Even then, it was on the "hurt book" table. Being away at college, I was looking for recipes to recreate my favorite dishes from when I was growing up. This is a very straighforward book, divided into pork, beef, chicken, vegetables, etc. It has no pictures, a brief description or background on the dish, then the recipe. It covers most, if not all of the basic and classic recipes from Indonesia, Malaysia, etc. At the end, it had a section on ingredients. Unless it has been updated, I am sure the mail order sources are defunct.
