Simply wonderful

I have always loved laotian food, I love it even more because now I know how to cook it. This book was actually a gift from Penn's nephew. I also purchased an additional book to give to my boss who is laotian. The spring rolls are to die for. This book is a must.... Don't forget to check out her second book coming soon!

Perfect Instructions For A Single Person Who does Not Cook!

I have never been the "budding" Martha Stewart, nor Emeril; but with this book I feel that I might be able to give them a good run for their money! Very simple and delicious receipes, precise and easy step-by-step narration all through the book. Definitely a "must" for everyone who enjoys Far Eastern cuisine.

Uses ingredients readily accessible in American markets

There are very few Laotion cookbooks on the market, making Penn Hongthong's Simple Laotian Cooking a welcome addition. Almost two hundred recipes offer traditional dishes which surprisingly use ingredients readily accessible in American markets, so cooks will have no problem preparing Pork with Cauliflower or Green Curry Beef.
