Review Quotes:
If you're looking to include a local author on your cookbook wish list, this recipe from Nongkran Daks's most recent cookbook might convince you to go in the Thai direction. She's the chef-owner of Thai Basil in Chantilly, Va., a master chef and cooking instructor who has collected her most approachable dishes in this slim volume. -- Washington Post

Review Quotes:
"I had the joy of cooking with Nongkran and trying my hand at her Pad Thai recipe. You'll never want to order it from your local restaurant again. What makes the dish is her sauce which was a spicy sweet glaze that coated every noodle. After begging Nongkran I was lucky enough to get the recipe and now everyone's lucky to have it. I've now cooked Nongkran's Pad Thai a few times for both friends and family." -- Samantha Brown, host of several Travel Channel shows including: Girl Meets Hawaii, Passport to Europe, Passport to China, Great Weekends and Samantha Brown's Asia

Review Quotes:
"Nongkran Daks was born to be a chef, and has been uncompromising in her standards for using fresh, top quality ingredients to create bright, authentic flavors served in her restaurant, Thai Basil, in the Washington, D.C area. ... The secret for her success is the fresh ingredients and her masterful blending of Thai herbs and spices. No one makes these dishes better than Nong. We are very pleased to learn that she will again be sharing the secrets of her best dishes with discerning cooks in this new cookbook." -- Darryl Johnson, former U.S Ambassador to Thailand

Review Quotes:
"...highlights restaurant-quality Thai cooking in a way that is approachable to the home cook." -- Tara's Multicultural Table blog

Review Quotes:
"A chef in suburban Washington, D.C., Daks offers recipes for all manner of Thai dishes to re-create at home. Ever-popular satay can be grilled indoors or out, and the spicy peanut-coconut sauce that makes satay almost universally appreciated turns out to be easy to reproduce from ingredients available in most well-stocked supermarkets. Nong wants her food to be good for you, too. She offers a non-sugary nut snack that looks like savory peanut brittle. Sweet corn, not often seen in Asian cooking, makes a striking cold salad that would complement any buffet table. -- Booklist
