Brilliant Authentic Thai food!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Thai: Best of Thailand's Regional Cooking (Paperback)
I have recently returned from Thailand and greatly enjoyed the food there. I wanted a Thai cookbook so that I could try and re-create Thai food in my own kitchen and bought this one. It is a great book and I have made some very authentic tasting Thai meals, and I'm a hopeless cook!The ingredient substitutions are also really useful for hard to find stuff. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent, easy to follow and simple ingredients 4 Pad Thai,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Thai: Best of Thailand's Regional Cooking (Paperback)
I really like this cookbook. It is one of the best that I have, and it is the ONLY Thai cookbook I have. So far I have made 10 dishes (including Pad Thai and Pad See Ewe) and they have all turned out great. I haven't been to a Thai restaurant since I've bought this book!I like McDermott's easy, simple style. When possible, she lists substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients. There is also a complete glossary in the back of the book. You will especially enjoy the recipe for pad thai because it is simplified (no hard-to-find ingredients), and yet it tastes great. I picked this book because of the reviews that I found here at Amazon and if you are looking for a good Thai cookbook, you won't be disappointed.

excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Thai: Best of Thailand's Regional Cooking (Paperback)
its main claim to fame is its authenticity.keep in mind that the author is an american who is far more accurate in describing thai food than the many thai ( and some japanese) who have decided to write a thai cookbook. these latter entrepeneurs too often include recipes for dishes that one would never find in thailand. for instance: the use of western ingredients not found in thailand such as lemons, salmon, italian parsley, codfish, etc. etc. i have about fifty thai cookbooks and at least forty of these will not produce a recognizable thai dish by following the instructions. ms. mcdermott knows about thai cooking and how to write about it.
