wagamama Soul Kitchen

Book excerpt: Some say that the kitchen is the heart of the home. For wagamama, it's the soul. Journeying from the restaurants' own open kitchens, wagamama travels across the Asian continent in search of the heroes serving up soul to their communities. Visiting eating houses, street food stalls, canteens and fine- dining spots, we discover the art of eating through a focus on freshness, experimentation and a sacred moment of pause. In chapters that span a full day, you'll find banh mi, fresh glass noodle salads, warming curries and hot honey-fried chicken. As well as breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night eating, you'll discover recipes for how to repurpose your lefovers and learn the importance of curating a great condiment selection. Within these 70 recipes you'll find fresh, flavoursome, nourishing and easy-to-make meals intended to feed your soul both when cooking and eating them.
