Book Reviews of Quick & Easy Thai Cuisine: Lemon Grass Cookbook (Quick and Easy Cookbooks)
Book Review: Simple but very authentic! (I'm Thai and this is my favorite Thai cookbook).
Summary: 5 Stars
Both my parents are Thai so I've grown up spoiled with fantastic Thai food my entire life. This is by far the best Thai cookbook my mom and I have come across! The recipes are simple and direct. You can adjust ingredients to your preference once you're comfortable with making the dishes.
My absolute favorite recipes from this book are:
- Beef Salad (Yum nuea)
- Papaya Salad (Somtum malagor)
- Northern Chicken Salad (Laab)
- Chicken Galangal Coconut Soup (Tom Kha Gai)
- Red and green chicken curries (Gang gai)
- Barbecued Chicken (Gai Yang)
- Pad Thai
- Crab Fried Rice (Khow pad poo)
My mom bought this cookbook for me when I moved abroad so I could cook all the Thai dishes I craved. She did all the cooking when we lived closer together so I rarely cooked Thai food but now (thanks to this cookbook and some of my mom's tips) I'm an expert! You can be too!
