30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASEPenang is a book about the Malaysian island of the same name, a cookbook and cultural guide in one. With chef André Chiang, culinary director of the Eastern & Oriental Express, along with Malcolm Lee and Abby Lee, the book offers 23 recipes for classic Malaysian dishes, from the tangy Assam Laksa to the Three-layer Rice Pudding by Kirthanna Naidu. The photographs are by Luo Yang in a vivid visual language, and essays by Tash Aw, Anna Sulan Masing and Kirthanaa Naidu guide the reader through the region's landmarks, from family-run nutmeg plantations to durian farms high in jungle-clad hills.
The book moves between markets and home kitchens and captures an island where spice-laden air meets sea breeze and where, as Tash Aw writes, time has a different meaning. Published in collaboration with Belmond.
