Recipes from Laos

Kees5, scans from the book are all but illegible to me. Anyway you can just type the recipes?

Yes, you can open the image and zoom in to read it quite legibly.

Thanks for working with the site for a review.

This is a good book, there should be more books on Lao Cuisine! Another notable book is from the Makphet Restaurant which is based in the capital Vientiane. Its a training restaurant borne from Friends International. The book is not only about the recipes of the restaurant, its a collection of dishes from various regions in Laos. Anyone interested in Lao Cuisine should definately see a copy of both books.

Laocook, is that book from the Makphet Restaurant readily available in the U.S.?

Hi KYHeirloomer,

I am sorry, I have no idea if its available in the US, I have searched on Amazon but cannot find it and am not sure of what other online bookstores you have.

There is a review on my site which can be seen at http://laocook.com/2011/08/06/from-honeybees-to-pepperwood/

I know that it can be purchased through Friends International.

There is also a review of the book Food From Northern Laos at http://laocook.com/2010/10/01/food-from-northern-laos-the-boat-landing-cookbook/

Both these books are equally good and informative on the subject of Lao cuisine, eating traditions and customs.

Kees and KY,

I have found some unusual Japanese cookbooks in English on this website and I had noticed they have a cookbook section on Laos and the Philippines:

Ethnic Foods Company Cookbooks

Happy Holidays,
