The Taste of Thailand

Rating:
Summary: Easy and authentic recipes
Review: I have been in Thailand and I like to enjoy street food, which I find it the best and tastiest of all. This book has taught me what ingredients to use and how to prepare the dishes I ate there. Now I can cook and enjoy Thai real street food whithout going to Thailand. My wife is Indonesian and we have an Indonesian restaurant in Barcelona. Both cookings are similar and we serve some Thai dishes as well, which by the way were learned from this book.

Summary: Best Thai cookbook I have
Review: I love Thai food and rank it in my 5 favorite cuisines. Authentic Thai ingredients are becoming more and more available, both in Asian markets and even in regular grocery stores. This book provides authentic recipes that are easy to follow. The book also has some beautiful pictures of both the dishes described and the regions of Thailand from which they originate. The author provides valuable background information for both eating and (unexpectedly) travelling in Thailand. In fact, I brought this book on a trip to Thailand. Since many Thai menus have dishes in both Thai and roman letters, I was able to match some of the menu items with recipes in the book, which was both helpful and interesting. I am glad I got this book before it went out of print and would recommend picking it up at any opportunity.

Summary: Perfection for the foreigners among us!
Review: My Thai husband has been so homesick, so I picked up this book to try and alleviate it. I didn't even know how to boil water before I read this book! I love it! My husband never eats out any more, and has told me that he might never go back to Thailand! The illustrations are great, and even I can accomplish the most difficult dishes. A must have for anyone wishing to cook Thai food!
