Simple Thai Cookery or Food Wine Magazines Wine Guide 2006

Simple Thai Cookery

Author: Ken Hom

In Simple Thai Cookery, Ken Hom takes you step by step through 40 of the most popular Thai dishes—from Spicy Noodle Salad and comforting Coconut Chicken Soup to pungent Red Pork Curry. The tried-and-true recipes include appetizing soups and starters, quick and easy fish, meat, and vegetarian main courses, and a variety of savory accompaniments. Step-by-step instructions and color photos accompany each stage of the preparations, and with a menu-planner and guide to essential ingredients, this is a book that will inspire cooks of every ability.

The latest additions to this attractive series (following Raymond Blanc's Simple French Cookery) are devoted to two of America's favorite cuisines. Hom, well known for his Chinese cookbooks, worked as a chef in Thailand for years, and he provides an excellent guide to Thai cooking. Roden is an authority on the foods of the Mediterranean (as well as of the Middle East), and she offers an eclectic selection of her favorite dishes from that region. Each book opens with an illustrated glossary, and each recipe includes step-by-step technique photographs in color. Despite its popularity, there are relatively few books on Thai food, and Hom's accessible introduction should appeal to many home cooks. And though there are dozens of titles on the cooking of the Mediterranean, larger collections will want to consider Roden's latest book. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Food & Wine Magazine's Wine Guide 2006

Author: Jamal A Rayyis

Food & Wine's bestselling guide, which sells more than 60,000 copies per year to delighted oenophiles, is back with new features and even more invaluable advice.


Food & Wine magazine, the most trusted and popular publication of the pleasures of the table, brings you everything you need to choose wine like a pro, and enjoy the best wines at the best prices. And this year's version is loaded with new and great features: a guide to buying wine online; an updated Wine Value Finder; expanded coverage of South American wines; a Wine Pronunciation Guide; and information on fabulous winery tours. As always, there are expert, at-a-glance ratings for nearly 1,500 of the most drinkable wines from all of the world's major wine-producing regions--not just the traditional giants (California, France, and Italy), but from Australia, Portugal, and Eastern Europe. Best of all, it's written in layman's language--not wine-speak.
