 excellent book with delicious recipes April 26, 2008

Coincidentally I made the Thai Green Curry with Shrimp and Snow Peas last night. The recipe was easy to follow and the only change I made was to use one less tablespoon of curry paste. This is another wonderful recipe in another of the author's wonderful cookbooks .
 Yummy! February 23, 2008
Bought two of these for family members...going to buy more!!! A+++ and highly recommended!

This is a reasonably good recipe book for Indian and Thai cuisine. It is easy to follow. It has a nice variety of choices to cook. It was a step up from what I had worked with before. I am just starting to cook Indian and Thai food.
A great easy-to-use cookbook October 18, 2005

I have tried 5 recipes from this book, and they all turned out great. I don't know very much about cooking this type of food, so it's because it's a great, easy to follow cookbook, rather than any skill on my part. I basically followed the recipes to the letter. There's a great guide to all the more exotic ingredients (some of which aren't even used in this book), that suggests substitutions and tells you when you can use them. You do need to obtain some rather exotic ingredients for some of the recipes (lemongrass leaves?), but many don't require anything more exotic than curry powder. If you do want to make everything in the book, there's a list of mail order places in the back. I actually like the recipe selection in this cookbook a lot better than True Thai from the same author.
Easy and authentic March 21, 2002

This book should be subtitled "Authentic curries made easy as spaghetti and meatballs." I spent two years living and traveling in Asia, and am a longtime curry aficionado. Of all the homemade curry recipes I have tried, the ones in this book are the closest to the authentic dishes I had in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. And they're almost all quick and easy enough to serve as low-fuss weeknight dinners! The secret to the wonderful flavors is in the traditional ingredients. We have found that by simply adding a supply of curry paste, keffir lime leaves, and a few other formerly-esoteric ingredients to our list of staples, we can whip up a quick and delicious curry with ingredients we keep on hand and no extra trip to the store. The author tells you where to mail-order these items if they are not available locally. In addition, there is a great glossary of ingredients, and the recipes are easy to follow, with good tips from the author's own experience. I'm already looking forward to Volume Two!
