Glad I bought this book…
Really delighted with the modest price, easy to read with a bit larger font, and I am delighted with the information presented. This book is a keeper and the recipes lent confidence to me that I could achieve them accurately.

Catchy book title with generally good recipes
I made a mistake of reviewing this book based trying its Pad Thai recipe that was published online at a site called Eater dot com, I gave the recipe a try before purchasing the book. I thought that the recipe caters to the taste of American palate and also contains confusing quantities. For example, the recipe calls for “3 cups (750 g) medium rice sticks, soaked. I can tell you that 750 g of soaked or fresh or dried noodles would never be measurable by cups. And this 3 cups of rice stick would not feed 4-6 people, as the recipe suggests. If you use fresh rice noodles (the same kind used for Pho) and measure 750 grams of it, and then soak it in water, then you’d have too much noodles and not enough shrimps, chicken and sauce to properly season it. Also, the shrimp and chicken are not seasoned in the recipe. As such, chicken and shrimp can taste pretty bland after being cooked.Update: After writing my initial review, I bought a copy of the book and read it. I am glad that I added this book to my collection of well over 100 cookbooks. I bought the book, even though I didn’t think the Pad Thai recipe was great. I changed my mind because there are other dishes that make lots of sense and appeal to my interest. The book is very attractive with great photos, easy to read and is of high quality. Surprisingly, there is a recipe for naan bread! I am glad that Jet Tila reached out to me after reading my initial review.

Great Little Cookbook
Had lots of Chinese and Thai recipes. I liked it better than Jet’s Thai cookbook, which had only a few recipes and listed the same recipe, but with different meats.This one had a better variety of recipes.

Great Companion Book
I recently got Jet’s other book “101 Thai Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die” and love it. Having lived in Asia for about 10 years, it’s great to find easy-to-follow directions to make some of my favorite dishes (and some new ones I’m interested in trying). The great thing is that there really isn’t any overlap with the other book, so he added a few more Thai dishes to this one. I’m excited to get cooking.

Fabulous cookbook
This book was written for the home cook; Jet offers lots of pro tips and background info on each dish. I’ve read about 1/3 of the book and I’m ready to go to the Asian market to seek out the various products needed to start cooking. He’s very encouraging and I believe I’m going to be a successful home cook of delicious food. Plus I love the title. I’m 74 and I want to get these recipes cooked before I die. ð

Chef Tila knows his way around the basics of methods and flavors, conveying them all by such a precise and cool language to his readers, and walking his audiences through by degrees. You all guys, in the world of cooking, don’t have to get my word for anything. Rather, you should get this book, and you yourself WILL SEE!Enjoy it 🙂

Very good sauces throughout the dishes!!! Very well written, especially the order of ingredients and the procedure. A great chef who can simplify amazing recipes in his manner of writing them, so that they can be easily performed. Great for practical use. I have already cooked some recipes, they came out perfect. The only drawback for me, which is not a drawback anyway, is that the cover being very thin paperback, gets destroyed very easily, personally if I had the choice, I wouldn’t mind as a customer to pay a little extra on the overall price of the book in order to have a hardcover edition because as I would use this a lot, I would like to maintain this book in good condition as much as possible. Thank you for this amazing book.

Tutte le ricette sono molto semplici e ben spiegate. Tantissime foto aiutano a creare piatti veramente fantastici! Non c’è una ricetta che non mi piaccia, e gli ingredienti sono tutti reperibili o in supermercato o nei negozietti di prodotti asiatici.Consigliato!
