David Thompson is an Australian chef, restaurateur and writer who has been a champion of Thai food for many years. In this beautifully presented book, Thompson brings alive his passion for Thai cuisine. If you are a novice in the kitchen or are looking for some easy to prepare dishes, this isn’t the book for you. Some of the recipes are complex and if you are outside of Thailand some of the ingredients may be difficult to source. However, for the serious foodie or connoisseur of Thai cuisine this is an excellent book. Although the book contains over 300 recipes, it is more than just a Thai cook book and has been described as a ‘feast for the eyes’. Beautiful photographs and in-depth explanations about the role of food in Thai society make this a worthwhile acquisition for anybody serious about Thai food.

Celebrity British chef Rick Stein is best known for his seafood dishes, but in this book he takes the reader on a tour of South-East Asian cuisine. The book covers not just Thai food, but also the food of Thailand’s regional neighbours such as Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam. The book is a follow-up to a BBC series shown on British television. Although many major towns and cities in the United Kingdom now have specialist South-East Asian food shops, some of the ingredients used in Stein’s recipes might still need a bit of work to track down. However, as with David Thompson’s Thai Food, this book is more than just a recipe book and provides some lovely photographs of Thailand and South-East Asia.
