Summary: Fish Sauce isn't vegetarian!
Review: Had to comment on the other review -- why would fish sauce be included in a VEGETARIAN cookbook? I am a strict vegetarian (no fish or meat of any time) and have really enjoyed this book!

Summary: Where's the fish sauce???
Review: This book is not bad at all. I have tried several recipes. Some lacked flavor, while a few are reasonably tasty due to the spices used. Generally, the recipes are easy to follow and straight forward. However, I did notice that one of the main ingredients that distinguish Thai (and Vietnamese) food is missing from ALL recipes: Nam Pla or fish sauce. I would recommend this book for its time saving, healthy recipes, but not much for flavors.
