Asian Pickles: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Cured, and Fermented Preserves from Korea, Japan, China, India, and Beyond [A Cookbook]

A very helpful book, it focusses on pickles from Japan, Korea, China, India, and Southeast Asia. There are several examples in each section, and the national name for each dish is given with the recipe. Karen also explains the context for each pickle and when it might be eaten. There are dishes as varied as pickled nashi pears {yum, yum!} and rice bran pickles - there are also seven different kimchi recipes {which was the reason I'd bought the book}. I have lots of other preserving and pickling books, but in truth their recipes are rarely as exotic or colourful as this. I'm off now to make the 'wasabi' pickled carrots...

Well laid out interesting but not what I was expecting. Most or the recipes being Asian don't need cooking and are more the marinating type which I should have realised, although I have grown my own shiso this year so I can pickle that lol, so at least I have one recipe i will definitely try! As I say, nice well presented book but not what I was looking for.

Love this book, everything I need

A very useful book of pickles

Great book
