Library Journal Review

Bhumichitr, a London restaurateur and author of The Taste of Thailand (Macmillan, 1988), has compiled an unusual work, for there is no long-established vegetarian tradition in Thai cuisine as such. Most dishes served as ``vegetarian'' have tended to be classic dishes with the meat left out; now, however, Bhumichitr has discovered that a new vegetarian cuisine is developing with its own unique dishes: Lemon Grass Spicy Vegetables, Chili Pumpkin, Palm Hearts with Kaffir Lime Leaf. Headnotes provide background on ingredients and on the culture. Recommended. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
