technicat reviewed The Pepper Thai Cookbook by Garrett Snyder
fun informative cookbook from somebody I gather is famous
5 stars
I have to admit I didn't know who Pepper Teigen or her daughter is, I knew they were famous but I didn't know exactly for what, except that it probably involved reality TV. Anyway, I'm all caught up now via Wikipedia and this cookbook, and it's a fun cookbook, the kind I like with personal stories behind each recipe and some cuisine facts (there are several invented recipes here, not just classic Thai, but I like to know the history, notwithstanding the anti-authenticity protestations of those who go straight to "this is my take on..."). The author is cheerful and engaging and tells a great immigrant story, so let's keep them coming.
