NATIONAL BESTSELLER
FINALIST 2012 – Gourmand World Cookbooks Award—Asian Cuisine
FINALIST 2013 – James Beard Foundation Book Awards—International
WINNER 2013 – International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Award—Culinary Travel
WINNER 2013 – Taste Canada Food Writing Awards in the Regional/Cultural Cookbooks category
“A timely, as well as absorbing and gorgeous, guide to a cuisine that has remained relatively unknown and untouched.”
—Julia Moskin, The New York Times
“A colorful immersion into the daily market and table of the Burmese people, this volume is an invitation to celebrate the Burmese people and their transformation.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Like her other cookbooks, it’s a richly photographed tome that gives armchair travellers a look at a country’s culture through its food.”
—The Georgia Straight
“A book of genuine discovery, a transportive and hunger-stoking look into what may be one of the world’s last great but little-known cuisines…. One of the great qualities she brings to her books, over and above her curiosity and her ability to bring a far-away place into three dimensions: her gentle coaching. The food seems strange, but anybody can make it. She empowers cooks in a way that few other authors do. Eating with Duguid [feels]…like discovering a lost world.”
—Chris Nuttall-Smith, The Globe and Mail
“She isn’t merely offering up a culture’s recipes, she wants us to understand our oil (Is it hot enough? Is it too hot?) the way a Burmese cook does.”
—LA Weekly
“Duguid’s thoughtful efforts to capture the taste of the country more than satisfy homebound, curious palates.”
—The Boston Globe
“Extraordinary.”
—The Gazette
