"There is so much to love in MiMi Aye's wonderful Mandalay: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen but, even before I got on to the recipes, I felt that a book that told me that in Burma people greet each other by asking whether they've eaten yet, belonged in my life. I am so grateful to Mimi Aye for a really loving and hungry-making introduction to a fascinating cuisine." -- Nigella Lawson "Knowing next to nothing about Burmese food, it's a glorious revelation. Autobiography, history and recipes all rolled into one magnificent whole. A brilliant, beguiling book." -- Tom Parker Bowles "Real insight into a cuisine I don't know nearly enough about. and a delicious love letter to Burma." -- Marina O'Loughlin "It's rare to come across a book that opens up an entirely new cuisine to us and Mandalay does exactly that.

Burmese recipes that combine the deliverable with the authentic, written with calm authority leavened with personal touches from an engaging personality. Buy and learn." -- Financial Times online "A readable, personal collection of stories and recipes from a country [MiMi] refers to as 'home'. Enlivened with family snaps and beautiful food photography, it's a brilliant introduction to Myanmar's food culture." -- Delicious Magazine "MANDALAY is an utterly charming, enlightening collection of food and stories, written with authority and a clear sense of the author rarely seen in the 'cookbooks by region' shelves of a bookshop." -- The Caterer " Mandalay: Recipes and Tales from a Burmese Kitchen by MiMi Aye offers surprises and inspiration with its accessible recipes. It isn't intimidating but just pushes culinary boundaries down a tasty road to Mandalay." -- Mostly Food and Travel Journal.
