Fact #1. The term Asian cuisine can be used to define the foods native to or inspired by a massive swath of the planet. Foods from regions as disparate as India, Korea, Thailand, Japan, Mongolia, and Indonesia all fall under the umbrella term. This should come as no surprise. The greater continent of Asia accounts for more than 4.1 billion of the earth's inhabitants.
Fact #2. Compared to many types of cooking, adroit Asian cooking can be quite difficult to learn and master. A Japanese chef typically works for five years before he or she even begins to prepare the rice used to make sushi. The full training may last twenty years. So be ready to be patient, and by all means start with a basic cookbook.
Fact #3. Many Asian cookbooks focus on the tools and techniques used in the preparation. This includes wok and stir-fry cooking, as well as the gear used in the process of pickling foods that are common in Korean cooking. Other books approach their recipes in terms of ingredients used. Both approaches involve a good deal of investment.
Fact #4. A lot of cookbooks weave a story into their pages. They tell tales of the author's life, of a given place or time, or take some other narrative approach. Other books are much more matter-of-fact. They focus on lists of ingredients and step-by-step instructions. There's really no right or wrong approach.
Fact #5. There's a lot of inherent diversity in Asian cooking. You might think the best way to begin is to simply find an Asian cookbook covering the foods of a region you already know you like. That, in fact, would be an oversimplification. Just as Western cooking has changed and evolved in recent years, so too has the approach to food preparation globally. As an example, consider a cookbook that would never have been seen a generation ago, like a guide to vegan Indian cooking.
