My Review:

I'm really glad that the recipes consist of the three major holidays at the end of the year and that each one has an appetizing picture of the finished product.

I really liked how each chapter was broken up into different sections and each chapter had drinks, starters, appetizers, main entree and dessert!

I can't wait to make the Breakfast Enchiladas!

Cookbook Review: Thai Food Made Easy

About the Book

Stop spending a fortune on takeout and bring the delicious flavors of Thai food into your own kitchen. With a tantalizing variety of curries, pad thai, and all your other favorites to try, this book takes the mystery out of Thai food preparation so you can enjoy those fresh and exotic flavors any day of the week.

About the Author

June V. Williamson was born in a little northeastern town of Udorn, Thailand. When she was 7 years old, her mother met, fell in love, and married an American Air Force officer. This was the beginning of her military life of living back and forth from America to Thailand being exposed to the native Thai life for 9 years. However, those years were deliciously profound. Thai food had been infused into her by Thai street vendors and her Thai mother. She is now back to living in another beautiful little town, but in Utah with her husband and 5 children.

My Review:

I jumped at the chance to review this book because I've never really had that much Thai food except for Pai Thai a couple of times which I really enjoyed!

The cover is really inviting and the picture looks very yummy which made me what to check out the book!

I loved the shopping list at the end of each recipe and the information of all the different curries.

Glad that each recipe had a picture of the final product and each was really easy to follow short and sweet!

I can't wait to make most of the recipes especially the hot and spicy ones but haven't had a chance since it's been so hot.
