Not so impressed
I must disagree with the other reviewers. The recipes may be great, but I find two flaws. One is that some of the ingredients are not easy to find (unless one is a city dweller) e.g. dried lily petals, red Thai basil, Indian bay leaves, lemon leaves, banana flowers, etc. Secondly, the amounts of each ingredient need interpretation. For example, how much is 1/8 lb. of cellophane noodles, or 1 1/8 lb. of soybean sprouts, or 8 3/4oz. of carrots. Can't they just tell me it's 1/2 cup or a whole carrot or whatever. I don't happen to own kitchen scales and this just makes a lot of extra work. I'm sending it back.
Wow!
Although this is one of my shorter cookbooks, I absolute love it. The recipes are solid, impressingly good, fairly easy, and use a good variety of vegetables. I love Asian food; this cookbook makes it easy to enjoy items at home. The soups are wonderful, as someone mentioned.
Authentic Thai!
Wonderful book. The recipes actually taste authentic. I have used for over a year and like the curry recipes especially. The only shortcoming of this one is that there are not enough recipes. I highly recommend
