“Anyone who has spent time in Southeast Asia is familiar with the
curl of smoke rising up behind the crowds on busy street corners;
the whiff of charred meat, caramelized sugar, and fish sauce
drifting from alleyways; and the deeply flavorful, charred meal
that they announce. With plenty of photos, precise recipes, and
Leela’s deep understanding of both her native cuisine as well as
western supermarkets and kitchens, Flavors of the Southeast Asian
Grill will quickly help that fragrant smoke become a permanent
resident above your own backyard.”––J. Kenji López-alt, author of
The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science
“I want every weekend warrior who dotes on burgers, brats, steaks,
and ribs to buy this book. I know you love Thai satay and
Vietnamese delicacies, but you didn’t think you could do it at
home. Well you can, and you must, because you can actually do it
better than most restaurants. Leela has opened a whole new world of
taste adventures to the barbecue lover, and we should all rush into
it. I am inspired!”––Meathead, barbecue whisperer, publisher of
AmazingRibs.com, and author of Meathead: The Science of Great
Barbecue and Grilling
