Easy to make recipes with restaurant quality results |
I've long been a Thai food fan, but kept it to the realm of takeaway until I got this cookbook. I'm usually wary of books with words like 'quick' or 'easy' in the title as they seem to be synonymous with poor quality, or recipes that contain artificial ingredients. But I got this cookbook after seeing all of the positive reviews and have been delighted with the results.
I've made probably half of the recipes in this cookbook, and really appreciate how the author has simplified the recipes without sacrificing flavor. For example, she will often list a necessary ingredient (Thai holy basil) but recommend a substitute (regular Italian basil) for when you can't get real Asian ingredients. I've also found that I can now avoid the local takeaways--my green curry is definitely better!
A few months after I got this cookbook I went to Bangkok and took a Thai cooking class and was pleased to see that everything I learned there was in line with this cookbook. For serious cooks out there, don't be turned off by the title. These are dinner party ready recipes.

Not an ordinary cookbook |
|
I am so impressed with this cookbook. My husband and I love Thai food, so we decided to try cooking it at home. I gave a library copy of the book a trial run - I kept it for two months, loved it, and finally decided I had better just buy it. Normally, you are doing well to get a few recipes out of a cookbook. This one is the exception. Every recipe is wonderful. Thai food now appears weekly on our table. |

Quick & Easy Thai: 70 Everyday Recipes |
|
You really get what the title of the book says - Quick and easy Thai. It actually could be named - quick, easy and tasty Thai. I highly recommend this book to everybody who doesn't like spending too much time in the kitchen but still wants to surprise his/her guests with a delicious meal. |

Quick & Easy is just the beginning of it! |

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I've only had it about 2 weeks and I've made several of the recipes. I consider myself to be an experienced amateur cook. Some of the foreign food books I've purchased get a little tricky at some points or make some parts of the recipes hard to understand. This book is simple, easy to understand & not too "wordy". Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm dying to make some more "Yum Woon Sen" |

Fun book |
|
This book has been a great introduction to Thai cooking for me. One word of warning: though the title says "quick and easy," the recipes are not usually quick and easy at the same time. The ones I've done so far have been easy, but not quick. I'm sure that there are others that are quick, though. Or maybe I'm just slow. :) |
