I bought this book for my Laos friend who could never remember her families recipes.
She enjoys the book, because many of the recipes were only served in the royal court. She recognizes some of the recipes, but many are very new to her.
For lack of anything else. She thinks this is a great book.

If you would like to prepare Laos food like that you would find in Luang Prabang, on the Banks of the Mekong, Pakse, etc, this is the book. Great recipes that include both the classics and obscure recipes. Good luck finding some of the ingrediants outside of South East Asia though. A very thoughtful approach from a Master Chef.
