THE FOOD OF THAILAND: Authentic Recipes from the Golden Kingdom
by Sven Krauss, Laurent Ganguillet, Vira Sanguanwong, & Luca Invernizzi Tettoni. Color photos of completed dishes.
Condition: UNREAD 1995 Periplus Editions softcover, first printing. Tiny edgewear bottom front cover corner.
Content: Reviewer: "A book that is both lovely and practical, with a mouth-watering selection of do-able recipes,
64 in all. It includes brief chapters on the history of the food, regional cooking, palace cuisine, and more; and an informative
chapter on Thai ingredients describes 48 exotic ingredients, some with photos, from 'agar-agar' to 'water spinach'. The
recipe directions are concise and clearly written. I like the fact that the recipes are not overly complicated and the number
of ingredients called for in most of the recipes is fairly small. Many of the recipes are simple and in my opinion authentic
and non-westernized. One thing they do not tell you is how spicy the resulting dish will be. "Red Chicken Curry with
Bamboo Shoots" and "Pumpking Custard" are my favorites. Last but not least, if you are like me and love the visuals,
sumptuous color photos abound, with exquisitely presented food in beautiful (table) settings, some with fascinating antiques
or objets-d'art." [1 copy available]
