A joyful, deeply personal guide to the everyday dishes of Asia, Asian Home Cooking by Adam Liaw draws on years of travel, research and lived experience, and features more than 200 authentic, accessible recipes that bring the flavours of the world’s largest continent into your kitchen. These are the dishes that families actually cook at home – meals that are simple, nourishing and full of flavour.

Going far beyond takeaway favourites, this landmark book shows the breadth and diversity of Asian cuisines, from Japan’s nikujaga (simmered beef and potatoes) and Vietnam’s canh chua ca (sweet and sour fish soup), to the rasams and sambars of South India and the noodles of Northern and Southern China. Organised by country and region, it reveals the everyday meals that fuel more than half the world’s population, placing each recipe in its cultural context while keeping the focus firmly on the home kitchen.

With Adam Liaw’s trademark clarity, warmth and authority, Asian Home Cooking is both a reference work and a guide for how we cook today. Comprehensive, accessible and meticulously researched, it belongs on every kitchen shelf – a timeless resource for anyone who loves food, family and flavour.
