Inspired by the roadside vendors and hawker markets of Thailand and Malaysia, and by the simple art of Chinese dim sum, Lotus is a wonderful collection of new recipes and stunning photographs from internationally acclaimed Australian chef Teage Ezard. Traditional dishes such as Pot-Sticker Dumplings and Green Papaya Salad lead to truly inspired creations like Stingray with Chili Jam and Pomelo and Coconut Sambal, Osso Buco with Wasabi Potato Dumpling, Stir-fried Lettuce and Sichuan Pepper Sauce. In between you'll find recipes for Peking duck, Malaysian laksa and red-cooked chicken; mouthwatering soups and curries; and refreshing, Asian inspired desserts such as Spiced Caramel Pears with Fried Lotus Root.
