Summary - Thai Food by David Thompson

So, what do I think about the book Thai Food by David Thompson?

Pros:
  • Lots of recipes, far outside the standard Thai restaurant scope here in Sweden.
  • Good quality recipes. As long as you can get the ingredients, the recipes work!
  • Great pictures.
  • Lots of bonus info on Thai culture and history.
  • This its the book if you're serious about Thai food!

Cons:
  • Bad index, inconsistent mix of English and transliterated Thai.
  • If you don't have a Thai grocery nearby there are hardly any recipes you can cook.
  • Strange organization of chapters.
  • Might feel a bit intimidating to beginner cooks.
