The Thai Soup Secret [antikvár]

iHthoeactfoHHOW I CAME TO WRITE THIS BOOKLife can be delightfully serendipitous sometimes. I never would've thought that my first trip to Thailand seventeen years ago would lead to a book on Thai soups. Food was not the intention of my trip.

They're mothers and fathers, students, single folks, husbands and wives, and they have jobs, kids, mortgages, school loans, and car payments. And they don't have a lot of time to cook. Even worse, many don't know how to cook. The
