A cookbook that gives a rare view into a country and its culture through a collection of 100 treasured family recipes.

"Early one morning, during our stay in Rangoon, my cousin, Myint Han, came back from the market with two heavy bags. 'You're in luck,' he told me. 'It was full moon last night so it's time to eat crab!' The Burmese believe crabs are at their best at this time of the month, when they come out to feed during a low tide."

"The crabs were simply boiled and served with a sharp dip of soy sauce, lime juice, crushed garllic and chopped green chillies. The salty sour combination complimented the sweet succulent meat of the crab. It was the best crab I have ever tasted. After two breakfasts, and still only ten o' clock in the morning, I could not eat more than half a crab while my husband somehow put awat nearly two. 'Hsa ba,' please eat, Myint Han encouraged. 'Htut hsa ba,' eat more."
