From Booklist
Sodsook's more than 230 offerings go beyond traditional recipes of satay, pad prik, and iced coffee. Here, country and city cuisines appear. A dozen suggested menus and instructions on carving fruits and vegetables round out this very pleasurable, unassuming, and unpretentious cookbook. Barbara Jacobs

About the Author

Born in Nam Buri, Thailand, Victor Sodsook learned cuisine at his mother's side, in a Thai university, and in the employ of fine Bangkok hotels. He arrived in America more than twenty years ago, opening the first Siamese Princess in 1976. Success propelled him to his present location in Beverly Hills. This is his first book.
