viejomadera's Full Review: Panurat Poladitmontri et al - Thailand: The Beauti...
This incredibly beautiful book showcases the four regions of Thailand, the South, the Central Plains, the North, and the Central and Northeast regions. Besides the magnificent photography of the people, landscapes and foods of beautiful Thailand, this book gives you authentic, mouthwatering recipes for a variety of dishes from each region.
If the photography doesn't make you want to visit Thailand to eat some of the wonderful foods depicted, the recipes will certainly make you want to prepare them at home. In addition to the amazing photographs, the book is filled with information about the culture, history, and geography of Thailand.
The glossary and the photographs of the prepared foods are simply wonderful. They allow you to "see" if you are purchasing the correct ingredients and if your finished products look "right".
I started cooking Thai food at home because I live 65 miles from the nearest city and I wanted to be able to savor some curries, some satay and some pad thai noodles more often.
Although this is not the first, nor the easiest Thai cookbook I have used, it is the most complete. It has a huge variety of recipes for soups, appetizers, curries and main courses, salads and vegetables, sauces and dips, and desserts.
This book gives you step by step instructions, so even if you have never tried to cook a Thai dish before, you can see exactly what is involved to obtain the delicious looking dishes on every page of the book.
Take the plunge, get this beautiful cookbook, take it with you while you go to the nearest Asian market to buy your ingredients, and cook some incredible Thai dishes for your family tonight!
