Welcome to Penang: Recipes & Wanderings Around an Island in Malaysia, the second volume in the new series by Apartamento and Belmond. Penang is not just a cookbook, but also a cultural journey through a unique culinary cosmos, where the spicy air meets the sea breeze and the hustle and bustle of island life seeps from the markets into the family kitchens. Chef André Chiang, culinary director of the Eastern & Oriental Express, and chefs Malcolm Lee and Abby Lee offer recipes for 23 signature Malaysian dishes - from spicy Assam laksa to Kirthanna Naidu's sweet three-layer rice pudding and all the delicious bites in between. Vibrant photographs by Luo Yang and essays by Tash Aw, Anna Sulan Masing and Kirthanaa Naidu take the reader to regional landmarks, from family-run nutmeg plantations to durian farms high up on jungle-clad hills. This volume is part invitation, part visual ode to the island's unforgettable mosaic of flavors.
