The Food of Thailand is a great introduction to the world of modern Thai cuisine. Loaded with an impressive variety of recipes from several areas of the country, this offering is well written and beautifully presented. The recipes are organised by type (snacks and street food, soups, salads, fish and shellfish, meat and game, curries, stirfrys, noodles and rice, vegetables, desserts) and accompanied by stunningly gorgeous images.
