Gr 6 Up–A love letter to Thailand and its food, this cookbook will enthrall every reader. With a quick introduction to the authors’ upbringings, we start this book at the beginning: with tools, equipment, and ingredients. Each chapter provides the story, meaning, and facts about its subject’s part of Thai cuisine. With useful information ranging from heat levels to ingredient substitution, the authors have deconstructed their culinary process for even the most novice cooks. The illustrated step-by-step recipes are easy to read and understand, as they have all the knowledge readers will need. This cookbook is fun, approachable, and even punny. People of all ages and backgrounds can enjoy this fantastic exploration of Thai food, culture, and history. A resounding success.
VERDICT Highly recommended for all collections.
