Asian Pickles introduces the unique ingredients and techniques used in Asian pickle-making, including a vast array of quick pickles for the novice pickler, and numerous techniques that take more adventurous cooks beyond the basic brine. With fail-proof instructions, a selection of helpful resources, and more than seventy-five of the most sought-after pickle recipes from the East—Korean Whole Leaf Cabbage Kimchi, Japanese Umeboshi, Chinese Preserved Vegetable, Indian Coconut-Cilantro Chutney, Vietnamese Daikon and Carrot Pickle, and more— Asian Pickles is your passport to explore this region’s preserving possibilities. Review: Pickles, glorious pickles! - This is an excellent book. I have been making Japanese and Korean pickles for almost 30 years, and I have to tell you that her explanations of proper equipment, ingredients, techniques and storage are top-notch. For me, the real gems are the Chinese pickles. I will never have to buy funky bags o' pickles at the Asian grocery, which in and of itself should be enough impetus for any Asian food lover to buy this book. The salt-cured long beans with with ginger are some of our faves (I ramp up the garlic in these for my daughter), and the XO sauce! The Tomato tamarind Chutney is a hit on grilled sharp cheddar cheese sandwiches. I could go on and on. The one caveat (and it's not so much a caveat as a heads-up) for the average western pickle fiend is that the majority of these pickles are NOT long term keepers,-they do not undergo processing to keep for years on a shelf. But I find that to be the absolute genius of the recipes in this book...buy fresh, eat fresh, stay fresh! Karen's writing style is light and humorous, and it is really easy to engage in her recipes and the book as a whole. I seriously love this book, and I think you will too. Review: Perfect!! - I am having the greatest time with this book! The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and give the option to ferment or use vinegar (I ferment). There are pickles here I'd never heard of but now love, and they are from several different culinary traditions. Finally I can have the pickles I loved when I lived in LA and can't find now that I'm out in rural Michigan! This author did her research, and has brought much culinary joy into my life. A perfect way to spice up your tired old food. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #123,602 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #38 in Korean Cooking, Food & Wine #89 in Herb, Spice & Condiment Cooking #152 in Canning & Preserving (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 586 Reviews | ## Images ![Asian Pickles: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Cured, and Fermented Preserves from Korea, Japan, China, India, and Beyond [A Cookbook] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fhDGzlLsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pickles, glorious pickles! *by P***R on November 26, 2014* This is an excellent book.
