Thai Slow Cooker Cookbook: Classic Thai Favorites Made Simple

I've only tried one recipe from this book, Curried Kabocha Coconut Soup (didn't have access to kabocha so I used acorn squash). I personally didn't fall head over heels for it, but the folks that did said that it reminded them of lobster bisque. I will make it again, but I will cut down the 3/4 cup of dried shrimp to 1/4, was just a little fishy for my taste. The gal that owns the local Asian market flipped through the book and thought all the recipes looked solid. Can't wait to try another one!Something to think of before buying this book...do you have access to the ingredients? I've made a list of some of the more difficult items that you will need (we found all of them at our very small Asian market and most are only needed if you are going to make your own curries).Lemongrass stalksGalangal (we found frozen)Shrimp PasteDried ShrimpTurmericrootThai BasilPalm SugarTamarind (Paste or Water)Fish SauceHope this helps.

This isn't American knock-off Thai food. This is good, hearty, authentic Thai. Right from home! If you're not the adventurous type this may not be the book for you. All of the ethnic ingredients are available here on Amazon. But I see a lot of reviewers leaving bad reviews because the ingredients for any given cook book are not available at the standard market. Simple, healthy food. I love Thai Curries. I've been spending a fortune on boxed curries from Marian's Kitchen. With this book, I can do it all from scratch. This book doesn't disappoint!

Just finished reading this book. It is a great starter book if you want to learn Thai cooking. All the basics are here, curry pastes, broth recipes, and Thai favourites like Pad Thai.There is also commentary by the author about the history of Thai food and a thorough section on ingredients.

Finally, I can make thai food at home. The biggest drawback is there aren't pictures to accompany each recipe. That makes me sad, but I also thought that "throw everything into a slow cooker" is supposed to be easy, and these recipes are AMAZING, frankly, but it really has you make the curry from scratch which involves a plethora of spices and requires me to wash a second appliance and a few more dishes. That being said, when I have time to be a purist, I enjoy having the option of making my own curry.I've made some criticisms here, but the fact is my 5 stars are for the recipes and not about my convenience. I've only made 5 recipes so far but I'm probably going to use this book up pretty quickly. Everything has tasted delicious, even when my dear non-cooking husband took a crack at it.

This cookbook is ideal for someone who is interested in trying Thai food.This book teaches you how to prepare your food before you put it in the slower cooker.Its great for those who have a very busy live and what Thai food but dont want to pay the cost of the restuarants.It has recipes for soups and Noodles and curry.It also has a recipes for spring rolls.This book also tells some history also.It is a great book for everyone who knows how to cook or that dont know how to cook.These recipes are for the whole family and are healthy.I will be making my own thai food for now on.

Some awesome recipes in here. Have to expand my spice cabinet now!😂 Only one recipe missing in the “extras” section, Fresh Rolls??

As we have bern expanding our international slow cooker repiroire, Thai cuisine is a wonderful addition. The vegetarian dishes are excellent and we love the introduction to new flavors at home. We've stocked our Thai pantry with procucts from Amazon and local grocers too.

I had an unusual delivery problem and I think it’s because of memorial day and then they got lost and then it finally arrived. That’s does not mean it’s going to happen to you. After that said, but the stroke, it looks fantastic!

Simple & easy to followGood explanation of methodology & ingredients availabilityTried several recipes and they didn't disappointGreat

Only cooked 2 recipes so far,but both were excellent, a cold addition to the house cookery books.

Lovely Recepies can highly recommend.

Too long winded regarding Thai history of cooking.

The recipes are diverse and delicious. Each one is marked with allergen information such as 'egg free' or 'nut free' and other tips. The author has given a good rundown of ingredients and equipment and also of the ethnic preferences. So there's some very interesting reading apart from the cooking and lovely photos as well.
