The Best of Thai dishes by S. Khongphan
The
Best of Vietnamese and Thai Cooking by Mai Pham. I have searched high and low for a book with authentic
Vietnamese and Thai recipes, and Mai Pham's book is the best I've found! Her
recipes are easy to follow and mouth watering! I also love this book because of
the touching stories she puts at the beginning of each chapter. That added a
very personal touch and insight into the way the food should be prepared and
eaten. Overall, a perfect book for lovers of Asian food! comments

The
Book of Thai Cooking by Hilaire Walden, David Gill. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this book. Wow! There are a ton of exquisite
color photos that show ingredients, preparation, and presentation ideas for
every wonderful recipe. It was difficult to believe that this book was so
reasonbly priced for what you get. If you are interested in learning Thai
cooking and don't know what lemongrass looks like, the difference between a lime
and a kaffir lime, or what galangal is, you need this book! comments

The
Elegant Taste of Thailand : Cha Am Cuisine by Pinyo Srisawat, Cha'Am Cuisine,
Sisamon Khongphan, Roger Williams
Going to Cha-am is a religious experience for Thai food lovers in the Bay Area.
This is a great opportunity to try making dishes at home--and you even get great
results. Two words of warning, however: there is not a huge amount of variety in
the food presented here (you will still need to go to the restaurant to get many
favorites and many Thai standards), and while the glossary was a great idea, the
descriptions are confusing and not all of the Thai ingredients that mystify are
explained in the glossary.

Rains Fishes : Legends, Traditions and the Joys of Thai Cooking
by Kasma
Loha-Unchit (Paperback - July 1995)
From Book News, Inc. ,
February 1, 1996 The recipes are only part of the fun in this compendium of information
about the land, people, and culinary traditions of Thailand. Ingredients are
thoroughly described (good news: coconut milk is not necessarily a no-no for
cholesterol watchers; chili peppers are great for you). Recipes include lots of
notes and variations. Colorful watercolor illustrations enhance the feeling of
travel and discovery. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
A feast for the eyes, the
mind, and the palate, August 28, 2000
Reviewer: D.
Bruce from Syracuse, NY United States
First and foremost the book presents a series of recipes, easy to follow and in
every instance a delight to prepare and to serve. The preparation of the
ingredients, their traditional uses, and helpful information about potential
combinations provide the reader with a banquet of information about the
preparation of food in the traditional Thai style. Moreover, the book contains
helpful suggestions on preparation techniques, for locating and purchasing
ingredients, and for ultimate presentation of the dish. Loha-Unchit clearly
strives to prepare the reader for the Thai cooking experience: providing basic
instruction for those just beginning and important details to more experienced
Thai cooks.
The book also is visually beautiful. Numerous line drawings and beautiful images (apparently watercolors) provide the reader with beautiful images ranging from market scenes in Bangkok to illustrations of people working in the countryside. I found myself going back to the pictures and imagining myself observing the scenes they depicted.
Finally, this book is a feast for the mind. Loha-unchit provides the reader with a history of the foods, their origins, and their place within the Thai cuisine. Loha-unchit guides us through a process that enables us to obtain and employ ingredients to produce authentic and traditional Thai cuisine with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of results. For example, although the book contains recipes for making your own curries from scratch it also provides suggestions for commercially available curries that provide the flavors closest to Thai home-made.
This is not a cookbook for those who think you can label a dish Thai by adding a few peanuts and a bit of lemon grass. It is a book that provides the reader with a taste of the sensibility of Thai cuisine and Thai culture, a journey for both the mind and the palate.
Experienced cooks will benefit from the insights Loha-unchit offers; inexperienced cooks will find their skills grow through use of the book. All will delight in the flavors, both visual and gustatory, that "It rains fishes" provides.

Original Thai Cookbook by Jennifer Brennan (Paperback - June 1984)
I wish to congratulate this book because this is the only book
I've turned to in "drastic times" - times where I've had to impress my
friends that I can cook Thai food. Being Thai, the recipes had to be right and
taste good. Well, it has served me well time and time again. Jennifer Brennan,
Congratulations! comments

Real Thai : The Best of Thailand's Regional Cooking by Nancie McDermott (Paperback - May 1992)
An excellent introduction
to Thai cooking, May 1, 2000
This was the first Thai cookbook I purchased when I first discovered how easy
Thai was to make at home about 4 years ago. The recipes prove that you can get
restaurant quality food in your home kitchen. My husband and I usually use this
book two times or more a week and have never been disappointed. He doesn't like
to cook that much so we are especially pleased with the simplicity of most
recipes.
Our favorites include our restaurant standards Pad Thai, Chicken Curry and Swimming Rama. We have also found some great new dishes through this book such as the Garlic Shrimp, and the Burmese-Style Pork Curry with Fresh Ginger.
Cooking out of this book has let us explore wonderful new dishes. Also, by all means add more chilis. The hotter the better.
