1: My Go-To Book!
This is my absolute Go-To book for Thai and Asian specialties. It is so well written and the recipes are delicious. I love that the back of the book is all about the sauces and how the author incorporates them into the recipes. Her tips and background info is just great, too. I've given this book to people many times as gifts and everyone just loves it.

2: Slurp!
In my opinion, the noodle is genius. It's fun to eat and takes on the flavor of whatever you put it in. This recipe collection really capitalizes on the variety of ways noodles are using in Asian cooking including recipes for things like Crispy Shrimp Balls, right alongside noodle soups like Udon. Every recipe in this collection is delicious and the pictures are beautiful. The clean design of the book makes it modern enough for a trendy coffee table. The reference guides for noodles are an added bonus. I will never get tired of his cookbook.
Thank you Ms. Simonds!

3: Easy and Flavorful
I picked it up since I love Asian noodle dishes but have no Asian cookbooks and I haven't been disappointed yet. If you keep the staples around, it is so easy to pick up a few vegetable & protein items and throw together a tasty meal. I have made about 5 of the recipes so far and they've been delicious and satisfying, plus it's easy to improvise or make substutions based on availability of ingredients or preferences. The sauce:noodle ratio is perfect everytime. The recipes are economical and make nice leftovers! I also rate the book highly for design - it's very clean, modern, and easy to use, with close-up photos.

4: Excellent
I bought this book because I adore Asian noodle dishes and I'm also usually pressed for time. I agree that the recipes may appear almost too Americanized when reading the ingredients, but always turn out wonderfully. I own many cookbooks but have found myself cooking from this one often.

5: This is one of those rare books that you'll use over and over!
I don't usually hype cookbooks. However, this one is terrific for anyone who loves Asian food, but doesn't have a Thai or Vietnamese place right around the corner. The recipes are clearly written, and use ingredients that most decent supermarkets carry. My family has loved every dish I've made from this book: soups, salads, spring rolls, you name it. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made, and I have hundreds of cookbooks.
