Green tea. Sesame seeds. Beans. Rice. In the Western world, these flavors aren’t usually associated with desserts. Oh, how we’re missing out! Once you taste the unusual sweet flavor combinations Asia has to offer, you’ll be hooked for life.

Even as Asian dishes continue to gain in popularity in the Western world, Asian desserts often receive much less attention. Despite the availability of Asian food in fast food, frozen, and convenience forms, most Westerners are unfamiliar with the sweet specialties developed in the Eastern world alongside their favorite Asian dishes.

Now you can indulge in these exotic and underused culinary confections without even having to go out to a restaurant. With the recipes in this book, you will easily be able to create authentic Asian desserts right in your own kitchen.

Asian Recipe Dessert Delights: The Best Recipes from Asia by Charles Ho offers over 50 delicious dessert recipes from China, Japan, Korea, India, Sri Lanka, Iraq, The Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. You’ll learn how to cook all kinds of unique desserts such as jellies, sticky rice cakes, dessert soups, sweet dumplings, and more.

In addition, most of these Asian desserts are deliciously low-fat, making them safe to eat even for someone watching their weight. That’s right: now you can satisfy your sweet tooth and try out new flavors guilt-free, even on a diet.

This book features clear, easy-to-follow instructions and color photographs accompanying each recipe.
