Winner of The Cookbook Award from the IACP, the International Association of Culinary Professionals. "Owner of San Diego's Saffron Restaurant, Yu takes her Thai cooking seriously: she expects readers to pound curry pastes by hand in a mortar and pestle (a process that takes about 30 minutes) and don't even think about using canned coconut milk unless absolutely necessary... For Thai novices and for those who are seeking to delve more deeply into this sophisticated and often surprising cuisine, this book is a must-have. "--Publishers Weekly.
