Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I own this hardcover edition along with Solomon's Complete Asian Cooking book and her Encyclopedia of Asian Food. This is a physically large book, resplendent with lovely color photos and yummy recipes. I would use it for the Mee Grob alone, which I cannot get for love nor money in the Minneapolis area. The Kaeng Masaman is just like in the restaurants (I'm getting hungry) and the noodles with bbq'ed pork are great. This is a good book for those wanting to delve far into Thai cooking, but for more generic "world" cooks like me I find I actually reach more often for Solomon's "Complete Asian Cooking" book, which also has many tempting Thai recipes as well as recipes from at least 15 other Asian countries. However if it's only Thai you want, this is the book for you, complete with glossary of ingredients and notes on pronouncing Thai words. Beware Pad Thai lovers -- there's no recipe for it in this book.

The recipes in this book are the product of Charmaine Solomon's travels in Thailand, where she tasted, learned and recorded over 190 recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, seafood, poultry, vegetables and desserts. Included are time-saving recipes for curry pastes that can be made ahead and frozen. All the spices and condiments used are easily accessible, and the text gives glimpses of the diversity of Thailand's ethnic origins and cross-cultural influences.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
