I have lived in Bangkok for a number of years and have never come across a Book about everyday Thai cuisine more extensive than Bangkok Street Food.
This is not just a book of recipes it is a journey through Bangkok street food culture- a tour-de-force of culinary delights.The author, Tom obviously has a very strong passion for Thailand and it's cuisine which comes through in this remarkable book. With over sixty well researched recipes illustrated with professionally taken photos of Bangkok and it's unique street food culture- Bangkok Street Food is much more than a book just about cooking. It is a document of Bangkok life itself which in it's best takes place on the streets and at street food stalls, small restaurants and markets. With a map of Bangkok indicating where to find the author's favourite places to dine on street food stalls, the visitor can explore Bangkok's back streets and find eateries off the beaten track which have been famous for locals for sometimes generations. Accompanying the recipes and photographs is a narrative of Tom's experiences eating his way around Bangkok from morning until night so detailed the reader can almost smell the fried chillies and prawns in the expertly taken photographs.

Bangkok Street Food is a must buy for anyone visiting Thailand or with an interest in Thailand and it's world famous cuisine..,,

This book is a real must have for anyone travelling to Bangkok and Thailand or anyone looking for authentic Thai street food recipes! You can almost smell the wonderful aromas of Thai cuisine while flicking through the pages and can't help but get hungry looking at the mouth-watering pictures of aromatic noodle soups, colourful salads, exotic stir-fries and sweet desserts :-)

I have used this book myself when in Bangkok and it has led me to discover some true culinary gems! So it's not only a great cookbook, but also a great travel companion for every food lover exploring Bangkok and Thailand!!
