The Best of Thai Cooking

By the head of the Bangkok Oriental Hotel's Thai Cooking School, this book presents an inexpensive selection of authentic, easy-to-follow recipes from Thailand that you can cook at home using easily-available ingredients. Vegetables and fish make up a large part of the average Thai diet, so the majority of the recipes in this book will be suitable for non-meat eaters. This text also includes a glossary which explains some of the more difficult to obtain Thai ingredients and offers more readily available alternatives.
