review 1: David Thompson's Thai cookbooks combine history, photography, and travel commentary with an intimate knowledge of ingredients, cooking methods, and taste combinations. You can read Thai Street Food even if you have no intention of cooking this spicy, tasty, remarkable cuisine. BUT... if you want to cook it, just do it. Don't worry about the ingredients that you cannot find in the oriental markets or the grocery store. Grow yourself some Lemon Grass and Thai hot peppers, Basil and cilantro. Otherwise, remember. The Thai cook is a master of using the ingredients on hand. Follow that rule and learn the basics. Your food will be remarkable. Tasty. Wonderful.
review 2: First things first: This is a coffee-table book and has a cover about three feet square. You won... more't be keeping this cookbook in the kitchen. I understand the publisher's intent, which was to allow the heavily detailed photos to be viewed without a magnifying glass. Still, that's quite a shock to find on your hold shelf.The recipes are strictly authentic, with few suggestions for substitution. I've always felt that there wasn't much room for North Americans to tinker with Thai recipes. It is truly regional food, especially so in this book. Anyone who makes a serious foray into cooking these recipes outside of Thailand is facing some serious challenges. less
