Phia Sing was the Master of Ceremonies and Chef at the royal palace of Luang Prabang. He died in 1967. Phia Sing's notebooks containing these recipes were loaned to Alan Davidson, British ambassador in Vientiane in the early l970s, by the Crown Prince of Laos. Alan Davidson arranged for their translation and added much useful material explaining Lao foods and cookery. The text is ornamented by drawings, mainly by the Lao artist Soun Vannithone. There are 124 recipes. Some of them also figure in Fish and Fish Dishes of Laos, but their range encompasses every aspect of cooking, not merely the fishy bit.

Authentic Laos Cuisine,
By Edward Kress (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Traditional Recipes of Laos (Paperback)
If you would like to prepare Laos food like that you would find in Luang Prabang, on the Banks of the Mekong, Pakse, etc, this is the book. Great recipes that include both the classics and obscure recipes. Good luck finding some of the ingrediants outside of South East Asia though. A very thoughtful approach from a Master Chef.

This review is from: Traditional Recipes of Laos (Paperback)
I love this book very very useful... many many many recipes!!!!!!! I know I can call my mom for recipe but sometime I can't get a hold of her. The only problem with this book is that there's no picture. I highly recommend this to all Laotians "newer generations" who want to cook lao food and all those who enjoy eating lao food ;)

Royal Laos Cuisine,
This review is from: Traditional Recipes of Laos (Paperback)
I bought this book for my Laos friend who could never remember her families recipes.
She enjoys the book, because many of the recipes were only served in the royal court. She recognizes some of the recipes, but many are very new to her. For lack of anything else. She thinks this is a great book.
