    Thai food at it's glorious best!
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015*

This book has very detailed general explanations, and very informative - and conveniently structured - recipes.Photos are very nice, and the book itself is a very nice read.Got it a few weeks back, made two recipes so far -1 - Spicy basil chicken (p 147) - a total "yummy in my tummy" dish, really easy to make. very fragrant and balanced dish, a perfect lunch accompanied by some rice.2 - Northeastern minced chicken salad (p 74) - bright, fresh flavor, didn't even last for 24 hrs in our fridge...Both dishes immediately reminded me of my trips to Thailand.Other than the great recipes, I love that this book is not a victim of  the current trend of overly "authentic" books - no need for dedicated utensils, no need to travel to different time zones for ingredients or order from obscure online resources...I bought most of the ingredients in my local asian-ish market (Fresh Farms in Niles). Other stuff can be easily ordered online (importfoods.com comes to mind).I will be working my way through this book during the next weeks, hopefully getting more delicious results.Highly recommended,

    Genuine Thai Food and Culture
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2014*

I have lived in Thailand and have cooked Thai food at home for many years now. Without question, this is the best Thai cookbook I have ever had--and I've had many. In addition, it is the best book about cooking of any type I have ever had. If you like Thai food and are interested in Thai culture, this is the book for you. I also bought the Kindle version and put it on my smart phone so that I always have the recipes with me.  Every recipe I have made has that authentic Thai flavor. If you are used to Mall-Food-Court Thai food you may not recognize many of the dishes in this book. These recipes are the "real deal" from the Ox Tail Tom Yum (which is delicious!!) to the variations on Som Tam and other salads.  In this book, Leela gives you more than lockstep directions for a single dish; she teaches the principles behind the dish, the sauces, and the condiments so that you can feel comfortable experimenting and exploring other possibilities.  My favorite aspect of this book is the quality of the writing—not usually a major factor in cookbooks. But as a thirty-year veteran of teaching writing at the college level, I value good writing. I guess that’s why this is the only cookbook I ever read cover to cover for the sheer enjoyment of it. Leela’s passion for Thai food and culture is evident in every page of the book. She relates memories from her childhood in Thailand with images of family life hinting at the central role that food preparation and consumption play in Thai culture. It’s all part of the Thai philosophy of “sanuk” which involves the Buddhist concept of “awareness,” and of “enjoying life” to the fullest. It’s a more serious version of “Don’t worry. Be happy.” She also relates some humorous anecdotes which reflect the culture, such as her explanation of the name of the dish “Son-in-law Eggs.” You simply must read that recipe!  One does wish the publishers had included more photos, but the dishes are excellent with or without the visual aid. An alternative is to go to Leela’s Blog at SheSimmer.com. There you will find more pictures and much entertaining reading.

    Nothing Simple About This Cookbook
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024*

I'm sure these recipes are delicious and not hard, but I definitely wouldn't call them SIMPLE. I cook ALOT, own and use many cookbooks (some simple, some not). The recipe for Curry Noodles with Chicken has 18 ingredients with the addition of 4 table seasonings. Any book called simple but has a recipe on how to make coconut milk from scratch is not simple in my world. Five stars for potential to be delicious, minus one star for not so simple, as titled.
