Gather your family and friends for the ultimate communal dinner!

This original cookbook is a labor of love from Amy Kimoto Kahn, a fourth-generation Japanese American mom, wife, and private chef. Originally published as Simply Hot Pots, it has now been updated and improved with beautiful new photographs, additional information on hot pot equipment for the home chef, an expanded table of contents and new glossary sections. The lightweight soft-cover format and user-friendly additions included in The Asian Hot Pot Cookbook make it the perfect kitchen guide for starting your own family hot pot traditions!

In Asia, hot pots have long been a cornerstone of home-cooking--a one pot meal, shared at the table, with family and friends helping themselves from the communal pot. The key to a successful hot pot is the base broth, and in this book you'll find a wide variety of recipes for broths and sauces, along with complete recipes for Asian-style hot pots from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and more!
