Book Reviews of Complete Thai Cooking

Book Review: Fantastic and do-able Thai
Summary: 5 Stars

First off, let me say that I am a "foodie". I search out prime ingredients. I fuss over my equipment like a mother hen. I read cookbooks in the bathtub.... You get the idea.

"Complete Thai Cooking" is a great cookbook with the following key attributes:
- dishes which are seriously tasty and "feel" Thai (see below)
- clear instuctions
- non-complicated prep work
- findable ingredients, with helpful substitutions
- excellent Thai spice/herb overview

I have the specific need of cooking Thai food in a location where I have limited ingredients and time. At the same time, I am unwilling to spend time cooking anything where the tastes are watered down, and the dishes uninspiring.

I have not been disappointed by anything I have made from the book.

Mild disclaimer:
I must admit that I am not qualified to speak about the authenticity/thru-Thai of the recipes. I do know that they taste wonderful, and I'd be happy to pay for them at a Thai resturant.

Summary of Complete Thai Cooking

Authentic Thai cuisine has a rich, centuries-old tradition, and this authoritative handbook celebrates its many variations, with deft ideas for using many spices, sauces, flavorings, and styles. More than 100 recipes, most taking 15 minutes or less to prepare and cook, provide even gourmet cooks with a new range of delicious choices. The recipes start with snacks and starters, then introduce a host of multicourse meals featuring soups and salads, seafood, meat, and poultry main courses, as well as a range of vegetable side dishes and desserts. Even the names of the recipes are intriguing: Green Mango Salad, Son-in-Law Eggs, Jungle Curry Beef, Thai Fried Pie. Large full-color photos suggest mouthwatering presentations for all occasions.
