It Rains Fishes: Legends, Traditions and the Joys of Thai Cooking

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is excellent for beginners (like me). It gives so much details about cooking techniques that it can get you started real quick and yet keep you going back to the book for little nuances and finer touches that could keep you recreating your favourite dish in yet another wonderfully different way. Kasma's love for her culture, her deep understanding of Thai cuisine and her intuitive knowledge of what a reader wants makes this book a must have for anyone venturing into Thai cuisine. As for me, the very first curry paste that Kasma's words walked me through paid for the cost of the book. Everything else I got out of the book is a sheer bonus of a pleasure. By the way, thanks to Amazon.com for helping me discover this book...!

Summary: Wonderful introduction to Thai cooking!
Review: This cookbook will teach you how to make amazing Thai dishes. Everything is very well explained and discussed. It teaches you how to make several dozen incredible dishes rather than giving you a ton of recipes that one wouldn't learn how to make well. Highly recommend!
