Burma: Rivers of Flavor

Rudyard Kipling once wrote: "This is Burma. It's quite unlike any place you know about."

Burma is still pretty mysterious for most of us, but interest is growing. The New York Times says its the new exotic travel location for 2012.  

Award-winning cookbook author Naomi Duguid has spent her career highlighting the flavours and traditions of Asia, from The Seductions of Rice to Beyond the Great Wall. 

In her latest cookbook, she sheds light on Burmese cooking. Burma: Rivers of Flavor has plenty of recipes,  as well her trademark beautiful photographs and stories about life in this country bordered by India, China, Laos and Thailand. Naomi spoke, in-studio with Sonali Karnick.
