I am a Thai who loves Chinese food, and I have a lot of respect for Mr Hom. I use his Chinese cookery books all the time and his advice keeps my wok in pristine condition. But I have to say that none of the recipes in this book - fantastic though they look, sound, and no doubt taste - are recognisable to me as authentic. I have cooked Thai for a while and eaten it for longer (all my life) so I should know. Now I am well aware that this book is Mr Hom's interpretation of Thai dishes and he makes no claims to the contrary. His appreciation and enthusiasm for Thai food is especially infectious. However, there remains an understandably heavy bias for Chinese based dishes and cooking styles. All this is not obvious unless you are able to thumb through the book. So my comments here are merely cautionary to potential buyers of this book on Amazon. If you're looking for authenticity then look elsewhere. Otherwise, like me, you are sure to get hours of pleasure from the imaginative and tasty recipes in this beautifully presented book written by one of the best in the business.

I agree that these recipes are not entirely authentic. However, a lot of the finished dishes do bear quite a strong resemblance to authentic Thai food (although none of them are very spicy which was one thing I remember about Thai food in Thailand). The best thing about this book, however, is the fact that all the recipes are very easy to follow, the ingredients are not mpossible to find, the finished dishes are very tasty and guests are always suitably impressed. Additionally, authentic Thai food can take a long time to prepare (at least for a non-Thai person!) whereas these recipes are fairly quick so, for an "easy to prepare" taste of Thailand, I can fully recommend this book.

Although I like Ken Hom's books I was rather disappointed with this effort for the simple reason that his is interprepation makes the food more Chinese than Thai.

A Chinese goes Thai. The perfect combination
Ken Hom has great credit promoting Chinese cooking in the world. This universal cuisine of the Far East seems to incorporate almost all styles. Read more
