4.0 out of 5 stars Quick and Easy is Appropriate, June 11, 2005

By	Dolce P (USA) - See all my reviews

I have owned this book (the hardcover version) for many years now. I use it mostly to refresh my brain on some of the quicker Thai dishes I like to make.

The pictures are helpful (although the ingredients do not always match up) and the timing advice is an absolute necessity. I would say that most of the dishes come out tasting pretty authentic however some are much milder than desired.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is starting out. I just bought it for a friend of mine who is learning to cook Thai. It is still the first one I go to because of its ease when I am looking for a dish that I haven't tried before or need a refresher on.

5.0 out of 5 stars You gotta get this cookbook!, April 23, 2005

By	S. SPEIGHT "SP8girl" (Quartz Hill, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm extremely new to Thai food when a Thai friend of mine introduced me to it. I was hooked. I came back from the visit and haven't stopped cooking it (I got back three weeks ago). Another friend let me borrow this cookbook and I can't tell you how easy these recipes are to follow. The meals turn out like the pictures (if not better) and they taste great! I don't particularly care for stir fries but the vegetable and chicken recipe was very good!
If you're wanting something different in your kitchen, try some of these recipes. They're not too spicy so even the kids can enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars best cookbook ever !, April 20, 2005

By	Moshmomma (Baldwinsville, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I was hopeful for a good Thai cookbook and the item description was very helpful and why I chose the book, but to my surprise, this book is better than described. It has great pictures of how the food should look; exactly what the ingredients looks like that you are suppose to buy and gives simple cooking instructions. There is a wide variety of food to cook, from soups to deserts, I only wish there were more recipes. THIS IS A MUST HAVE for people who love Thai and have no idea how to cook Thai!
