Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid ($40.00, Artisan) boasts some of the most beautiful food photography we’ve ever seen, both color and coffee-toned black and white. There are some 175 recipes in the book, but the personal anecdotes, photography and gorgeous production make this more an intimate journal of food discovery than a working cookbook. Indeed, we can’t imagine bringing it into the kitchen: It might get splattered with food stains. |
