Title: style over substance
Review: This is the last time I buy a cookbook without cracking it open first. It was a real disappointment. This book is for beginners only. The dishes are easy, but not necessarily tasty or authentic. One recipe has fish sauce as its only seasoning, and I could figure that out myself. I found 2 recipes that used canned tuna - yuck!There is a distinct lack of quality control as well. I tried to make one of the curries but the recipe called for so much liquid, it would have been soup if I didn't modify it drastically. The book is designed awkwardly so it won't stay open by itself, a real pain when you are cooking. I only gave 2 stars because the pictures are lovely.
