 The Festive Food of Thailand
Jacki Passmore
This little volume is an introduction to Thai culture explored through the festival calendar and associated foods. As popular as Thai food has become there are many recipes here that are sure to be unfamiliar to westerners, but are not so exotic that they are hard to cook in an American kitchen. Learn about Buddhist festivals, annual celebrations, and national holidays while eating your way through a year of Thai special occasions. Similar books are available for France, Italy, Spain, India & Pakistan, and China. Hardcover, 92 pp. $12.95.
