Methods of preparing tasty and economical meals are often discussed with passion, and sacrifices to gods and spirits are invariably conducted with great rejoicing. This book explores the multifaceted aspects of food in South-East Asia.

A final chapter examines common South-East Asian sayings based on the food and culinary habits of the region.
