Look and Cook with Annie
Annie Leong s unusual culinary journey continues with this second eclectic collection. Her first cookbook, COOKING WITH ANNIE, published in 2006, firmly established her status as an imaginative and innovative chef whose recipes really work. For the reluctant cook or the enthusiastic foodie alike, Annie s tried and tested recipes allow you to create classic banquet and restaurant-standard dishes or just your family favourites at home. Annie s love for great food, her uncanny knack for deconstructing and demystifying techniques and her willingness to share chef secrets are on offer here. LOOK AND COOK WITH ANNIE is Annie Leong s new book. Fans of her first will be able to follow the flow of cooking each dish with the new, illustrated, step-by-step format. Attention to detail is captured by the exceptional photography, giving the reader a real sense of watching Annie in action. The complete and precise instructions leave nothing out so that home cooks can confidently prepare an impressive feast for a dinner party or just an intimate family dinner.

Review
I have been following Annie's vision about good food for many years now, and, more than ever, I am convinced that she is the most committed professional I have ever met. Annie has developed a strong bond with the Conrad Culinary Team; she is an exemplary role model for us all. The testimony of our admiration and respect is Annie's Menu at the Brasserie that we launched last year for initially 2 months. We then had to continue to offer her signature dishes till the present moment, because of the high demand, not to mention Annie's Hamburger and Scones that have also attracted the attention of media and customers alike. I am sure that we will work together on many more projects in the future and continue to delight our guests with her culinary creations. --Giovanni Viterale, Resident Manager, Conrad Hotel, Hong Kong
The first time I met Annie, I was immediately struck by her passion for cooking, good food and dining in style. The easy and relaxed atmosphere in her kitchen belied the methodical and disciplined way in which Annie prepares and manages every aspect of her kitchen. Annie's profound knowledge of food combined with her instinctive sense of what would be pleasing made me realize that we had found the perfect culinary advisor for Cathay Pacific s Chinese and Hong Kong favourites food review project. In this role, Annie is mentor to our catering team, who have responded enthusiastically to her passion and philosophy for tasty food and flavours. Annie and the team are developing new dishes for the tough production and reheating process in-flight. Annie challenges old practices and stimulates creative thinking in the designing and making of quality in-flight meals for our passengers enjoyment. --Quince Chong, Director - Service Delivery,
