My opinion about Asian Bites is extremely mixed. As I do with all my new cookbooks, the moment I got this one I started going through looking for recipes that I could make right away. I was a little disappointed when I only found a couple that I actually had all the ingredients in my kitchen.
Resigned, I began book marking recipes that I wanted to try and made a list that I needed to pick up at the supermarket. Again, I was stalled when I could only find about half of the things on my list. I began shopping around for the remainder of items but still couldn’t find them all.
The majority of the dishes that I cooked up, even those that I had to make creative substitutions, were delicious. A handful of these recipes will become part of my everyday repertoire. However, due the difficulty of finding key ingredients in my community, most of the best dishes will have to be made for special occasions only.
