Review: I bought this for a friend, she’s tried recipes and hasn’t complained. Was very happy with this as a gift.I checked this book out of my local library and then I liked it so much I bought it. I recently went to Thailand and wanted to learn to cook some of the incredible food. But it’s a different world with different ingredients and spices. This book does a great job of explaining all the different vegetables and spices, how to select them and prepare them for cooking. I felt like I can take this book to an Asian market and use it as a reference. Some Thai cooking books already assume you know all this stuff. Also the photos were helpful and easy to read. All in all a great book!Easy Thai Cookbook: The Step-By-Step Guide to Deliciously Easy Thai Food at Home
I was given this book as a present. I could not wait to start cooking from it, it is well written and very easy to follow (heaps of good quality photos too). One of the best things about this book is at the back it gives you menus to use and all the timings for making the meals, you will wow your friends when using it. I use it the whole time and LOVE it. Well recommended for those either at a starter or intermediate level of Thai cooking. One of my favourites is the Mango Sorbet its so good my mouth is watering just writing this.I love just about everything about this cookbook. First of all, it is a very nice size and it has high quality, glossy paper with a beautiful photo for just about every recipe. It is spiral bound, so it is easy to flip through, and the pages lie flat while you are trying to cook and read a recipe at the same time.
At first I was intimidated by some of the Asian products that were unfamiliar to me, but so far I have been able to find just about everything that is called for. I’m still having a problem convincing myself to add ground up dried shrimp into the pumpkin soup, but it looks so beautiful and delicious that I am going to have to try it. If I had only known how easy Thai cooking really is, I would have tried it a long time ago. Who knew what a magical flavor a little lemongrass, lime leaves and chili paste could bring!
