Here is the first cookbook to explore the specialities of each region of Thailand! Thai cuisine can be classified as hybrids, as it has been influenced by Chinese, Indian, Cambodian, Indonesian, Laotian, Malaysian, Burmese, and Vietnamese cooking traditions. In addition to over 150 recipes, all adapted for the North American kitchen, Mingkwan provides a helpful section on ingredients and techniques.

Summary: Great class that goes with this book
Comment: This is a great book, and now I found a great local Thai Cooking Class so I can learn even more about how to make Thai dishes. The class is at [..]

Summary: Simple recipes, rather dull format.
Comment: Recipes are easy to follow. Ingredients section is helpful. Book has pictures but all are black and white, feels dated. Frequent use of maggi seasoning.

Summary: Great book
Comment: I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Thai cuisine. Not your average cookbook, this book was informative about the ingredients and the regions where they are from. I tried several of the recipes and they turned out just like my favorite Thai restaurants.

Summary: My favorite cookbook!
Comment: I couldn't have said it much better than the above reviewers have. A great book that is foolproof, even containing photos of the ingredients in the beginning. You absolutely must try the green curry paste for your next attempt at curry, and find out what you have been missing. You will find that you can easily make better Thai food than the restaurant can offer, and experience true homemade Thai, the way it is supposed to be. Thanks Chat for a wonderful cooking cass as well...you were a lot of fun and I wish you good luck!

Summary: Excellent and Entertaining Cookbook!!! Highly Recommended
Comment: This is a great cookbook. The author does an admirable job of demystifying Thai cooking. The book begins with a very helpful description (including pictures) of the key ingredients used in Thai cooking, including helpful information on where to acquire them in the US. The recipes are then organized by region, and many entertaining stories and background of the recipes are provided. Recipes of eveything from appetizers and main courses to desserts are included, and are also well-indexed. In fact, the recipes are indexed by category as well. And yes, they taste great. My favorite is the chicken with cashews.The author also teaches hands-on Thai cooking classes in the Bay area for a very reasonable price...
