Title: Asia Food   
Description: We had to find a place for this web site, as it really is wonderful.  You can search, via keyword, to find any recipe that has its origins, or partial origin, in the Asian region.  You can also search through the encyclopaedia of Asian food, or search via region for particular dishes.  For students looking at applications in the food technology area this may be of some use, but in truth it is just an excuse for teachers to explore this wonderful site.
