"Ceremonies, rituals und traditions -- as well as the fascinating combinations of flavours and ingredients, the culinary customs of Asian countries also arouse great interest. This book presents the projects of Asian and European architects on both continents, ranging from tea houses and sake bars through to entire restaurants. Enhanced with selected recipes and essays, the book is also a travel guide to Europe's many special Asiatic spaces."-- Provided by publisher.
