Library Journal Review

In this vibrant, accessible take on Thai cooking, chef and instructor Danhi delivers authentic flavors through nontraditional recipes that make smart use of store-bought shortcuts. Unlike his previous Southeast Asian Flavors or David Thompson's more comprehensive Thai Food, this book emphasizes practicality and convenience. Tempting recipes like BBQ Corn with a Sriracha Slather and Tamarind Soy Chicken with Cashews can be made easily on busy weeknights. VERDICT Danhi's expert tips and insights provide a systematic way for home cooks to start experimenting on their own. Interested readers may enjoy this publisher's other books on everyday Asian cooking, like Bee Yinn Low's Easy Chinese Recipes and Debra Samuels's My Japanese Table. (c) Copyright 2012.
