INTRODUCTION
The foods of Thailand consist of many combinations and blends of different flavors, herbs, spices and peppers. It is a fiery cuisine which has become very popular due to the many Thai restaurants offering dishes that are appreciated by the adventurous and sophisticated palates of so many people of today.
Thai cooking has been influenced by Thailand's neighbors, including Burma, India, Laos and Malaysia. Also coloring Thai cuisine are countries such as China and Portugal. The versatility of the Thai people enabled them to refine this variety of traditions to develop one of the most beautiful and flavorful cuisines in the world.
Thai cuisine offers not only well balanced flavors but also the unforgettable fire of peppers (prig kee noo), which makes this style of cooking very addictive. The rich and varied sauces make each dish distinctive and unique.
With the increasing availability of Thai ingredients in the market, Thai cooking can be enjoyed in the home. Employing a variety of fresh seafood, vegetables and tofu, Thai cooking is one of healthiest and most nutritious ways to enjoy meals that are quick and easy to prepare.

Many of the dishes are also found on the menu of Chef Rut's restaurants in the United States, The easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step photographs will yield dishes that are as authentic as any found in Thailand.

Summary: Classic Thai!
Comment: This cookbook is most appropriately titled: the recipes ARE quick and easy.Great Thai food is said to have an etheric, uncontainable quality...and I find that is true.
My partner and I love to cook together, and this book has served as a sure starting point on which we build.
The spices are easily and cheaply available in local Asian stores and usually much cheaper than your local supermarket. Here in San Diego we shop at 'Ranch 99'.
One suggestion for readers; Mazola oil is a great choice for the deep frying entrees. I substitute coconut oil for the other recipes.If you haven't tried cooking with it, you might like it :)
Altogether a really fun, easy and inspiring book!
If you're going to get ONE Thai cookbook, THIS is the one!
Enjoy!

Summary: Great Recipies
Comment:
This is a good starter cookbook for those interested in trying the cuisine of southeast asia. Great Pictures. Juicy. I've tried three or four and they were splendid. My wife and I are now eating Thai or Vietnamese about twice a week. You do need to collect eastern cooking ingredients that are not common to western cooking, but it's worth it. I'm still trying to find spring roll wrappers. My kitchen has been globalized. RJ

Summary: Love this book
Comment: This is a very straight forward and easy to understand book since it is mainly based on pictures. Now it is easier to buy what is needed at Asian markets, and follow their simple directions.
The only drawback is that this is a small book with not that many recipes, but I really do like the SELECTION of recipes in the book. They are the more useful ones and tend to be more of the things that I like to order at a Thai restaurant rather than something very strange or with lots of ingredients that I will never make.
Overall, this is a good book to have if you want a simple to follow Thai cookbook and I am not disappointed. It has most every recipe I really hoped for.
