Teaser

I really like this book and some of the recipes are really simple and very easy to do.

However, for things like masks, some of the ingredients are so hard to find and there is no list of where to find it or even what the ingredients look like. So it is frustrating and somewhat a teaser to be able to see the product and want to make it but can't !

Love it, love it, love it!!!

Ok, I don't know how good it is as an "asian spa recipe" book - I didn't buy it for that. But for a coffee table book, its the best I have come across on Asian spa, surroundings, architecture etc... the closest that comes to it is Bali Modern, also by the same photographer - Luca Invernizzi.

The pictures are just so well taken, you feel like you want to go there. There are tons of coffee table books out there that have pictures of exotic spots, like Tropical Asian Style etc, but they just don't capture it the way this book does.. oh! so mesmerizing!

Tour guide -- not an instruction book

This book was not what I expected. I thought it would be full of recipies and practices of Asian spas, and it is instead mostly devoted to describing various popular Asian spas. There are some recipies, but not very many. However, it is a beautifully photographed book -- and if you are studying spas themselves (or are planning a trip to Asia and are wondering which spa would suit you best), this would definitely be a book to have.
