It's hard to believe there was a time when you couldn't go out for
Chinese food in Minnesota, but there was--until brothers and
entrepreneurs Woo Yee Sing and Woo Du Sing opened their Canton
Restaurant (later called John's Place) in Minneapolis in 1883.
Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian, and Cambodian immigrants have left
an indelible and flavorful mark on our collective culinary history.
Many cooks sought not only to make a living but also to preserve
the memory of their homeland through the dishes set before family
and patrons alike, to the great benefit of diners from the Twin
Cities metro area to Duluth to the Red River Valley.
"Asian Flavors" includes interviews with pioneering chefs, features
on beloved restaurants, stories of farmers and food businesses,
and, of course, more than 150 treasured recipes that have nourished
and inspired Minnesotans. Try Dar Cheen Chicken from Wing Ying
Huie's Chinese Lantern in Duluth, or Supenn Harrison's egg rolls
made famous at her state fair booth beginning in 1976, or Reiko
Weston's Sukiyaki from the original Fuji Ya in Minneapolis.
Let Asian food experts Phyllis Louise Harris and Raghavan Iyer take
you on a tour through this comprehensive history, lavishly
illustrated with historical and contemporary photography, from the
Philippines to South Korea to Nepal, from the 1870s through today.
Phyllis Louise Harris teaches Asian cooking and was food editor of
"Asian Pages" for two decades. Collaborator Raghavan Iyer is author
of "Betty Crocker's Indian Home Cooking," "The Turmeric Trail, "
and "660 Curries." They are cofounders of Asian Culinary Arts
Institutes in Minneapolis.
Award-winning author and instructor Raghavan Iyer explores the
origin of curry across the globe with 50 recipes in this
illustrated cookbook about the simmering, scrumptious history and
lore of a globally beloved dish.? On the Curry Trail is an
enlightening journey across Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and
the Americas to explore the origins of curry and the signature,
essential curries of each region. This diaspora of curry brings
alive not only the most iconic, category-defining recipes from
these continents, but also the history, lore, anecdotes, and
familial remembrances that fashion each dish. It delves into the
story of curry—what it was and what it is, the places to which it
has traveled and the ways it has evolved en route (whether because
of local ingredients, cultural tastes, or other factors)—and
embraces the many interpretations and definitions of this beloved
dish. It makes the flavors of these scintillating curries
accessible to the everyday home cook. On the Curry Trail is at once
a mash note and an education—one rich in history and sense of
place—that tells the definitive, delectable story of this
beguiling dish in 50 irresistible recipes. Illustrations
throughout.
