Cookbook Review: Complete Book of Thai Cooking

If you are interested in trying your hand at Thai cooking, Complete Book of Thai Cooking: Over 200 Delicious Recipes is a cookbook you should have on your cookbook shelf.

With this cookbook you can prepare authentic Thai dishes, with those luscious flavors and aromas, right at home in your own kitchen.

Thai food is well known for its bold flavors. Somehow it manages to balance spicy, sour, salty and sweet in just the right way.

For all of us home cooks who love Thai food and would love to prepare authentic recipes if they are not difficult, Linda Stephen brings her extensive knowledge of Thai cuisine to our door.

Linda has travelled extensively throughout Thailand where she conducts tours and cooking classes.

In the Complete Book of Thai Cooking Linda draws on that wealth of experience with Thai food and culture and shares her it all with us.

When you use this cookbook you will notice that she has a great way of demystifying Thai cuisine, while still bringing its authentic flavors to our family meals.

Linda's recipes require a minimum of preparation time, use simplified techniques, and result in colorful, fragrant dishes that really do "seduce" the senses.
