This had lots of wonderful ideas and yummy pictures. I've definitely got some new recipes to try.

Didn't find one thing I wanted to make without buying a bunch of special ingredients.

GREAT cookbook for making Thai. Wouldn't call all the recipes quick but they are easy and YUMMY!

Really good-everything is simple, and easily adaptable. Great for someone beginning to cook Thai, or just beginning to cook. Or for people like me, who learned to cook from books, and hence is very bad at weeknight, just-get-it-over-with cooking.

The title is correct - except that not only are these dishes quick and easy (relatively speaking - I'm not a fact cook/prep person), they are delicious! One short cut that she recommends is to buy curry paste, rather than making it from scratch - although she does include a recipe for making it. I have experimented with different curry pastes from H-Mart (an Asian grocery store near me), and found the brand I really like. She includes a list of sources for ingredients, which is helpful. I'm looking forward ti making more!

One of my favorite cookbooks!

There are only 70 recipes, and too many of them are angled toward various curries or fish, to the exclusion of staples like Tom Yum soup. The photography is excellent, but more variety is needed.

Wow! I got this for Christmas and have made several delicious recipes already. With a few different ingredients such as fish sauce, curry paste, and coconut milk, it's great to have the restaurant come to you. Lots of pictures.

Tasty and quick stir fry recipes. I really like the Thai Fried Rice and the Soy Sauce Noodles with Beef and Greens. It also has some general tips for finding ingredients and for cooking with new types of ingredients that you may not have seen before.

I know that this not completely authentic but it is a great introduction to Thai flavors. I love Thai food and one of the hardest things in making authentic Thai is the huge amounts of ingredients and many of them hard to find. McDermott takes classic Thai recipes and streamlines them and then list authentic ingredients you can use but also great subsitutions if you don't have or can't find the original. The recipes are yummy and easy. One of my family's favorite is Hidden Chicken. It's quick to put together - just throw everything in your rice cooker and push start- I am getting hungry thinking of this.

good book to whip up food after work. not entirely authentic, but does in a pinch. accessible to those who don't have palm sugar handy in their pantry.

Every recipie I've tried has been excellent. You can easily cook Thai food that's as good as most restaurants.
