review 1: There are cookbooks you buy just for inspiration--you love them but they live on a shelf until you need them. And there's nothing wrong with that--I have many favorites in this category. Pok Pok could easily be one of these books--the engaging narrative, the beautiful photography, the bright layout--all inspiration material.The real magic of Pok Pok is, though, the amount of care, love and deeply obsessed work that you realize went into the book when you begin to cook from its recipes. This food is not the Asian equivalent of 10 minute pasta heaped onto a plate in a rush. It takes real time, effort, and organization to make them which is not to say that the food is somehow opaque or unreachable. You just need to love it enough to give it the time it deserves.Regardles... mores of the reason that you buy Pok Pok, make no mistake, you should definitely buy it.
review 2: Thai food can be pretty intimidating to try to cook at home for many of us. Chef Andy Rickter, write's this book to simplify and give is confidence to step out of the box and develop great Thai food at home. I have read books on cooking Thai food before but nothing has been as complete or helpful as this book before. It earned a place on my top shelf.There are more than recipes included. There is a great deal of knowledge shared on techniques and finding your ingredients. Many online suppliers are listed to make it even easier. The pictures are mouth watering beautiful and will have you committing yourself to cooking every dish.There is nothing mysterious about this cuisine after you finish this book. You really can cook up these delouse tasty exotic dishes at home. less
