Public television's Emmy award-winning chef Ming Tsai pulls out all the hot pads for this terrific guide to fast, healthy, and easy cooking that can still be exotic when East meets West. Featured recipes include Wok-Stirred Beef with Eggplant and Black Beans, Soy-Kaffir Lime Glazed Salmon with Lime Sushi Rice, East-West Minestrone Soup, and Blue Ginger Crispy Calamari, with most requiring fewer than seven ingredients (which are readily available and easy to pronounce!) and 20 minutes or less preparation time. Guest chefs include Todd English, Martin Yan, and Michael Lomonaco, and Tsai himself occasionally makes excursions to specialty markets, and shares tips for preserving the color and flavor of fresh ingredients. Even the culinary-impaired will love this inspirational and accessible cooking course. Highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (L. Stevens)
