Natalie Thomson, “Wraps: Try the Tortilla hack with over 80 quick & easy Recipes” 2021 was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Jaffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid, “Flatbreads & Flavors”, 2008 also was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Here I present: Nina Simonds, “Asian Wraps: Deliciously Easy Hand-Held Bundles to Stuff, Wrap & Relish”, 2000 was a cookbook on hand-held wraps from Asia.

This cookbook has a picture of the wrappers (shown above). I will list the wraps in two groups: 1. flatbread, & 2. leaves.

At the top of this blog post is the photograph of “BBQ Pork Loin with Asian Slaw” from the Nina Simonds, “Asian Wraps” cookbook. Just above is “Duck & Shitake Mushroom Lettuce Wrap”. Below is a photograph of Korean “Kimbap Sushi” using Nori Seaweed as wrapper. These are examples of recipes in this cookbook. I like the combination of “leaves” & “flatbreads” as wrapper in different recipes of the cookbook.

Here I presented: Nina Simonds, “Asian Wraps: Deliciously Easy Hand-Held Bundles to Stuff, Wrap & Relish”, 2000 was a cookbook on hand-held wraps from Asia. This cookbook is a survey of the topic; but, California Culinary Academy, “Wrap & Roll”, 1998 is another cookbook on this topic that I recommend.
