Somnuk Arpachinda's book is as delightful and user-friendly as it is well-named.

Anyone who wants to prepare Thai dishes that are true to the cuisine, that taste like their favorites in their preferred Thai restaurants, and who wants to do it simply and quickly at home must have this book.

A great deal of effort must have gone in to converting restaurant recipes for home use while staying true to the traditions of Thailand. Mrs. Arpachinda was trained in Thailand, launched the first Thai restaurant in Michigan and now operates four successful sites and so she knows whereof she writes.

The brief articles, comments, and insights add a nice dimension and give the reader a feel for the culture from which this fascinating cuisine derives.

If you have only one Thai cookbook, this should be the one.

My wife and I and our friends have eaten at Bancock Cusine since it opened 20 years ago. Obviously we've enjoyed the food. Sandy's cookbook is easy to follow and the recipes are great. I've already added them to my list of favorites.

I've used this cook book on several occasions. The recipes are just like the name says... Pure and Simple... Sandy makes little notes and suggestions through out the book that are real helpful. I love the Pad Taray...

Just starting out with Thai cooking? This is the book for you. The recipes are "Pure & Simple," no question about it. This little book will take you through all the basics and make you enjoy cooking like a pro. Your guests will love your cooking too!
