Nyonya Flavours:

A Complete Guide to Penang Straits Chinese Cuisine

--

Julie Wong

New. While Nyonya cooking books come thick and fast this one is a little more unusual in that it's the result of two years research by the State Chinese (Penang) Association, a 'guardian of the Penang Peranakan (Straits Chinese) Culture' and the publishers to capture many familiar and many almost forgotten recipies of this distinctive creole cuisine. A Debbie Teoh was even used as the 'food tester' in the hope of ensuring the recipies' authentincity. 248 pages including colour illustrations of the recipies and much else besides. There is also an index of the recipies. Chapters include -
