"Duguid is part anthropologist, part brilliant cook, and her
recipes simply work in American kitchens. Many dishes in Burma will
seem entirely fresh to palates already familiar with Thai or
Vietnamese food. . . . Duguid has mastered the arc of flavor
development. She writes with deep, local, friendly authority."

culinary anthropology, and, throughout, a feast for the eyes."

portrait of Burma's rich food heritage contains vivid glimpses of
the people who create it along with cultural insight and a dash of
travel advice."

Weekly's Top 10 Cookbooks for Fall) "Satisfy your taste for
