5.0 out of 5 stars Fish Sauce isn't vegetarian!
Had to comment on the other review -- why would fish sauce be included in a VEGETARIAN cookbook? I am a strict vegetarian (no fish or meat of any time) and have really enjoyed this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Teeny tiny book...
I didn't even realize how small this book was going to be until I received it.I was expecting something meaty (err, hearty!) out of this book. But it's so tiny, and seems rather cursory in scope. Not very impressed. But I only spent a couple dollars for it in the Marketplace, so no big loss.

I'll stick with The Vegetarian Table: Thailand, thanks... Much...

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the fish sauce???, August 28, 2000

This review is from: Thai Vegetarian Cooking: In a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (Element)) (Hardcover)
This book is not bad at all. I have tried several recipes. Some lacked flavor, while a few are reasonably tasty due to the spices used. Generally, the recipes are easy to follow and straight forward. However, I did notice that one of the main ingredients that distinguish Thai (and Vietnamese) food is missing from ALL recipes: Nam Pla or fish sauce. I would recommend this book for its time saving, healthy recipes, but not much for flavors.
