Favorite cookbook
This cookbook is my favorite cookbook, hands down. Bought it several years ago, and every recipe I have tried in it is outstanding. Easy to follow instructions, ingredients that are easy to find, and every recipe is easy to make, but tastes like I have worked for hours on them. I have turned this book on to at least 5 other people, who have had the same experience. I have many cookbooks, but I consistently use this one the most often. Best cookbook I have ever purchased!

A great easy-to-use cookbook
I have tried 5 recipes from this book, and they all turned out great. I don't know very much about cooking this type of food, so it's because it's a great, easy to follow cookbook, rather than any skill on my part. I basically followed the recipes to the letter. There's a great guide to all the more exotic ingredients (some of which aren't even used in this book), that suggests substitutions and tells you when you can use them. You do need to obtain some rather exotic ingredients for some of the recipes (lemongrass leaves?), but many don't require anything more exotic than curry powder. If you do want to make everything in the book, there's a list of mail order places in the back. I actually like the recipe selection in this cookbook a lot better than True Thai from the same author.
