Complete Book of Thai Cooking

I’ve tried a few recipes and have been very pleased with the results! Better than carry out, great instruction to make the dish just right, and I’m not from Thailand, but the flavors and ingredients do seem authentic. I try to follow the recipes with the most authentic ingredients and avoid substitutions, but even with a few things getting swapped, all the food I’ve made so far has been delicious! I find Thai food is a lot of chopping, so if you don’t already have a great knife... add one to your cart when you get this book! Great book! There are not pictures of every recipe which would be my only complaint.

We haven't taste-tested any recipes, but we love the layout of this book and the recipes that are in it. After we've taste-tested some recipes, will update this review and rating.Pros:- pictures- numerous side bar tips for variations to the basic recipe- twists to some classics, like Thai Sloppy Joes, Thai meatloaf, Lemongrass Vegetable Soup, Thai Spaghetti and Meatballs, Meatballs in Peanut Sauce, Carrots in Mango juice, etc.- covers the basics - curry pastes, marinades, sauces and dips- no exotic ingredients or vegetables - supermarket basics (ok, maybe an occasional trip to the Asian market).Cons:- want more high caliber recipes like these = book is short (really intended as a compliment to the author)

Recipes included in this book would be fine for those that don't already cook Thai.

If I buy a cookbook, you know it's gotta be good.(I hate plunking down money for recipes!) However, i checked this out at the library first and right away, knew I had to have it. If you're a fan of Thai food, then this is the cookbook to buy. I must have read 20 or more Thai cookbooks before I purchased this book, but this one was the easiest to understand and replicate in an American home kitchen. LOTS of great recipes.Great cookbook!

Cooking my way through this great cookbook. I took it out of the library first and after a few recipes I knew I had to have it. Every recipe has been great and I'm a retired chef so I can vouch for the flavors and easy to read directions. I never get tired of Thai food and thes recipes are better than most Thai restaurant lid.

Great for anyone that loves Thai Food

I have made 3 recipes so far and they have been great. My goal is to make recipes that are so delish, that my family no longer wants to eat at restaurants. I made garlic shrimp last nite and it was a winner.

Great cookbook!

I like the many useful recipies but would prefer illustrations for each dish, will use it though

My husband wanted a Thai cooking book for Xmas this year. I opted out for this higher priced book. Received it two days later.I was a very disappointed as there are very few pictures of the finished dishes :( I like visuals of the finished product of a recipe just to give an idea how it should look when all put together.On the other hand, the recipes do sound delicious

bought this book a few years ago, forgot to rate it. I have been making the dishes in this book for a while now and they are awesome! so flavourful!!

Great book, so many great recipes!
