mongatu Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I am looking for a good Thai food cookbook available in Thailand with recipes written in both English & Thai. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 The cookbook "Thailand the beautiful cookbook" is pretty good. Names of dishes written in Thai, but not the recipies. The one or 2 I have seen written in both languages, had very poor translations to English concerning the prep and assembly directions. If you go with "Thailand the beautiful cookbook," I suggest the paper back version (if you can find it)cheaper and also easierto handle, and more durable...

Old Hippie Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 REcipies are easy enough to get. The OP wants them written in English and Thai as well, that is a bit more difficult I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongatu Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yes that is right, English & Thai. My Thai friend has been cooking for me lately which has been great. Although she is very very good at making many basic Thai dishes, I was thinking it might be fun to try to stimulate her culinary imagination and at the same time get something I could learn from by cooking along with her, hence the need for both languages, if that makes any sense.

Old Hippie Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I have seen these cookbooks before. I have seen many Chinese cookbooks like this as well. As I recall, I have seen them At supermarket book areas, maybe try there...or maybe your friend knows where to find one? There is a book store in MBK that sells books in both English and Thai...hell if I remember where...Not sure Emporium has one as well? Anyone?

Any recommendations? My (and wifey's) favourite is Cooking Thai Food in American Kitchens by Malulee Pinsuvana because the book is written in both Thai and English and gives good recommendations on substituting ingredients that are hard to find in the West. There are three editions, as well as on that has recepies for neighboring countries (noted by the addition of "now with ASEAN recepies" to the title). I have seen this book here at Asia Books. It is 1/2 A4 size, spiral bound. Another most excellent one is the whimsical It Rains Fishes: Legends, Traditions and the Joys of Thai Cooking by Kasma Loha-Unchit Not a ton of recepies, but well written with lots of childhood memories and folklore surrounding the names and ingredients of various dishes. Good fun. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
