Review: I'm a single guy who has never really tried cooking anything more sophisticated than a combination of baked potatoes, beans and Quorn sausages [you know the type] but I bought this book on the aim that I may one day try one of my favourite meals. Over the weekend I tried the Tofu Red Curry. Fortunately I live in a big city with Asian supermarkets in every district, so I could get Thai eggplants at a drop of a hat. The paste was ok to make [cheaper to buy a jar of paste but less fun], it took a while in my rubbish food processor but ended up being good once I'd picked out the sticky parts of the Kaffir Lime leaves [there is probably a simpler alternative, just search the net or leave it out and give it a go]. The curry itself was brilliant. I had a guest that didn't like hot food so I didn't add fresh red chillies to the paste preparation [came out as a Thai beige curry because of this] and only used 5 dried chillies instead of 6-9. But it was just right heat for us. If you like to loose the sensation of taste during a curry then you can always add fresh chopped chillies or have a swig on the tabasco during the meal. Now I have enough curry paste to make the meal two or three times for guests, or for a whole week for myself. The instructions are easy to follow - just have the ingredients ready before hand. Brilliant book even for the beans-on-toast-infront-of-the-TV generation. EDIT: June 2012 The meals in this cookbook seem to always work. I cooked one when I was dating a great girl early on in our relationship. She was so impressed by the curry that she said yes when I proposed. So guys if you like that girl, cook a curry.

Review: It's okay, nothing will be found in it that cannot be found in a mainstream Thai cookery book, replacing the meat ingredients with tofu or nuts, and no pics.
