Book Description
All in color! With its subtle contrasts of hot and cool, sweet and sour, crunchy and soft, Thai food offers a variety of taste sensations to tempt the palate. Better yet, because the Thai diet is rich in vegetables and fruits, it's a healthful cuisine. See how to whip up curry pastes, stocks, and other basics (like crispy basil or crushed roast nuts) from scratch, and make spring rolls; mushroom and tofu satay; stuffed green peppers with corn, tomato, onion, and beans; and fried or steamed wontons. Start a meal with Glass Noodle Soup, filled with bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, celery leaves, cucumber, and cabbage, or with khun tom's pumpkin soup. Choose from the many Thai salads, including papaya, cucumber with roasted cashews, and green bean. Relish the range of stir-fries, curries, rice-based dishes, and noodles, plus sauces from plum to sweet nut to satay-all delicious additions to the vegetarian menu! Trim size: 8 3/4 x 12.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Vegetarian Thai (Paperback)
There are better vegetarian thai books out there (I also bought the one put out by the vegetarian table - liked it better). The recipes in this book just aren't that inspiring. I've recently turned vegetarian and was looking to replace old favorite cookbooks that use meats. The recipes in here seem to have just taken the old meat recipes and deleted the line that calls for meat. Well I could have done that! Other cookbooks get a bit more interesting by putting in new things like vegetables instead of the meat. This is an ok book but I'd use it more as one to augment others rather than a stand alone. One recipe that is interesting is the yellow curry with carrot. I liked that one a lot.
