I don’t quite know what I expected from this book. But this was not it chief. ~~ Too many hard to find ingredients for the area I live in.

I don’t think I like Andy Ricker but I definitely know Andy Ricker likes Thailand.

Recipes looked yummy, but far too many exotic ingredients. And most recipes required you to make other recipes to make them. Would be ok if you were committed to making this type of food full time, but otherwise can't justify the trouble and expense.

one of those cook books that makes me want to travel more than go to the kitchen.
although i liked the drink section in the back.
also many of the noodle recipies looked so amazing
i also enjoyed the photos of the making of different types of noodles.

Great looking recipes, too complicated to cook with kids.

[Zell Murdy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting anecdotes, but the formatting and recipes and descriptions felt a bit repetitive. And the components being compiled at the end made everything feel really complicated.

A very good noodle book composed of Thai noodle dishes. Lots of variety, not westernized. The section on sauces and oils is worth the read.
