Customer Reviews

Wow!

Although this is one of my shorter cookbooks, I absolute love it. The recipes are solid, impressingly good, fairly easy, and use a good variety of vegetables. I love Asian food; this cookbook makes it easy to enjoy items at home. The soups are wonderful, as someone mentioned.

Authentic Thai!

Wonderful book. The recipes actually taste authentic. I have used for over a year and like the curry recipes especially. The only shortcoming of this one is that there are not enough recipes. I highly recommend

EXCELLENT! Buy this book!

Thanks to this book- no need to go to a thai restaurant again! My husband and I are cooking fast, delicious and authentic thai at home now. Before this book, I never thought it possible to make such great Thai food at home. Pictures in this book are gorgeous and make it easy to decide what's for dinner! The curry sauces are wonderful! BUT, IF YOU BUY THIS BOOK FOR NOTHING ELSE, BUY IT FOR THE MUSHROOM SOUP RECIPE ON PAGE 15!! 100% VEGAN (though you'd never guess) AND SIMPLY AMAZING! BEST SOUP EVER!!

Simply Irresistable

As a vegetarian who LOVES asian food, this book was a dream for me. The price is right, and the recipes are wonderful and easy to make. The book itself is also just beautiful. The illustrations make you salivate, and the end product lives up to the image.One of the things I love about this cookbook is that there is a picture on every page, which, to me, makes it a lot easier for me to decide what to cook. Also, even though the cookbook is fairly compact (95 pages), it still has many of the benefits of larger cookbooks with it's covers that open to a two page utensil and cooking tool guide, and back cover which opens to a three page Asian ingredients guide. The information in between the sections is also great.Another great thing that they do with the recipes is give you nutrition facts, prep time, a not on if it's easy to prepare or not, if it's spicy, if it's great for company, refreshing, and also, a note to tell you that it can be prepared ahead of time, I think you get the point.All in all, this is a great book for the vegetarian, or NON VEGETARIAN, who likes asian cooking. I'd have to say that this book is, penny for penny, probably the best Asian all vegetarian cookbook I have purchased!
