Product Description
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.
This book offers a collection of recipes from dishes served in restaurants that were owned and operated in Thailand by Chef Rut's mother. 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.

 Pretty good... October 3, 2008
The instructions are fairly easy to follow, and the recipes I have tried are great. However, the pictures of marinated dishes don't show the marinades as mixed together, which is weird. Also, I wish the author(s) were a little more clear on exactly which cuts of beef to use on the dishes...it just says "sliced beef" or "tender sliced beef". I'd like to know which cuts they would recommend.

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!

I loved this book. If you want to try cooking thai food. This is a great book to start. You can find most ingredients at your local asian stores. The instruction is very easy to follow and the content of this book is pretty authentic.
Love this book January 7, 2008
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.

Found this book so easy with ingredients easily sourced in Australia that I have bought another copy for my 14 year old grandson.
