"Each course (Soups and Appetizers, Curries and Main Courses, Salads and Vegetables, Desserts), is preceded by several pages that give an overview and history of a particular region of Thailand."
"My husband love Thai food and he had mentioned wanting to get a Thai cookbook so I wanted to get him one as one of his Christmas gifts."
"I first saw this book about twenty years ago and it took my breath away because of the photography and beautiful layout of food."
"I think the only serious competition for this book is Thai Food, and I would cautiously award the blue ribbon to this book, if only because it contains lots and lots of recipes that I have actually seen and tasted, while Thai Food seems to have a lot of recipes like "Beef and Mangosteen Soup," which I have never heard of, much less tasted."
"This book was much larger than expected, but how else could you hold such detailed and colorful pictures of Thailand?"
"My wife is Thai and when she saw this book, she was shocked to see some recipes that she have not seen (and had) since she was in Thailand many moons ago. The book is too large and bulky to carry with you to the kitchen while you are preparing dishes."
"===============. This book is beautiful, the photos are pleasing and I like the fact they give you the Thai name as well as the English translation."
