Customer Reviews

Beautiful produced Thai cookbook
This lovely book is artfully produced, with 2-3 attractive photographs per recipe, both of the food prep and the finished product.

This isn't just a cookbook. It is a primer on Thai history, cooking techniques, ingredients, equipment, and more, with over 60 non-recipe pages.

The recipes are given both in metric and US measurements. For example: 900 ml / 1 1/2 pints / 3 3/4 cups vegetable stock.

The recipes are explained with clarity, so that even if one is unfamiliar with the dish, it's easy to follow the instructions.

This book will help you produce beautiful, interesting, simple, delicious Thai meals.

This book is published in paperback as Thai: The Essence of Asian Cooking
