Brad S.: I’m living in Thailand in 2023 for 4 months. Love this book and am anxious to try the recipes when we get back to the States. Fortune we have a large Asian market about 20 minutes away. The recipes were very well explained.

AjAj: The content looks good and quite detailed, hopefully it will guide me properly on my new gastronomic journey!
-Annoying choice of font, it is a bit tiring to read.
-Too American! Units and ingredient names, such as scallions don’t look very familiar, but google saves the day :(

Erin: Very nice cookbook. Great pics and I very much appreciate the section covering what to have in your kitchen to get started (heads up, its a lot of spices if you are new to the Asian kitchen, as I am)

Bookwyrm: We love Thai food, absolutely adore it. It's one of our weaknesses when it comes to eating out. 90% of the time, we are going to eat Thai. We also cook Thai quite a bit and have for almost 20 years, and we own several good Thai cookbooks. Being addicted to good Thai, I had to give the Kindle ebook version of this cookbook a try. Surprisingly, it's very well-formatted for a Kindle cookbook and very easy to read. (I say surprisingly, as I've deleted several Kindle cookbooks as unusable simply due to their format. It's a rather common problem.) The Better Than Takeout Thai Cookbook has colors that work well, the font size and contrast on the colored blocks is also good. The pictures are crisp and hunger-inducing. I'm not sure why another reviewer only saw one letter per line, as my copy displayed correctly, at full-page width; that said, I was using this on a Kindle Fire tablet. They may have been using a true Kindle ereader.
After reading the entire introduction, ingredient and tool explanations, and over half of the recipes, I was more than sold and jumped on Amazon to buy a print copy also (mostly because I can't seem to print from my tablet, and I prefer to read and mark...

A.X.: I preordered this cookbook and received it early this morning. I was able to see that there isn't anything wrong the formatting with my versions. It looked great on my kindle fire HD, kindle for iOS on the iPhone as well as iPad.
I prepared the spicy drunken noodles for lunch today. It was really tasty--I'm thankful that there's an Asian market nearby that carries the holy basil. It opted for substitutes; you will also find those little helpful tips and more if you go through the book. Holy basil is peppery and this make the dish. This book is a bargain, considering the recipes available. I was excited to find a jungle curry recipe. It's not your typical Thai curry served at restaurants around the U.S.
So this book is broken up in sections. You have:
1-The Thai Kitchen. Explains ingredient used in Thai cooking and suggests what to stock for a Thai pantry. There's also a basic tools section, optional tools and Thai cooking techniques.
2-Snacks and Starters
3-Rice and Noodles
4-Soups and Salads
5-Curries (I love this chapter---it has curry paste recipes AND curry dishes)
6-Vegtables and Tofu
7-Seafood
8-Chicken and Eggs
9-Beef and...
