Your takeout drawer is full of menus. Your phone knows the delivery apps by heart. But deep down, you have always wanted to make this food yourself. Real pad thai. Chicken adobo like Lola used to make. A bowl of pho that rivals your favorite Vietnamese spot. Korean BBQ on a Tuesday night, from your own kitchen.
You have tried before. You stood in the Asian aisle at the grocery store, confused by fish sauce labels. You found a recipe online that called for galangal and wondered if ginger would work. You opened a jar of gochujang and were not sure how much to use. So you ordered takeout again.
That stops now.
Maricel's Simply Asian Cookbook is your step-by-step guide to cooking authentic Filipino, Cantonese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean food at home, written by a chef who has taught thousands of nervous home cooks exactly like you.
Chef Maricel Gentile learned to cook in her Lola's kitchen in Manila, trained in New York fine dining at the St. Regis and Lespinasse, and now teaches home cooks every day at Maricel's Kitchen in New Jersey. She has been featured on PBS, Food Network, and Hulu, and serves as a Chef Ambassador for K-Seafood representing the Korean Ministry of Fisheries.
