Originally published: William Heinemann Australia, 1993. Includes sound CD as insert titled: hot food cool jazz : a lively jazz compilation.

Simon Goh was the first to combine hot food with cool jazz at his Chinta Ria restaurants. Now you can't eat a decent sambol sotong without the sweet sound of sax in your ears. With this hot cookbook and cool cd in your hands, you can feast on flaky roti bread and the smoky voice of Christine Sullivan, nibble fried loh bak with George Golla on guitar, and delve into deep, dark beef rendang to the sounds of Trio Toykeat.

This boxed set contains a collection of recipes from Asian cuisine - snacks, sambals, curries, sweets, breads and noodles - with each recipe is a suggestion for the perfect jazz accompaniment. The audio CD features 12 jazz tracks to compliment the recipes. In slip case (cardboard).
