I love this concept - amazing stories and recipes illustrated by beautiful and cute art, I'm obsessed! Keeping this in mind for gifts.

This book is wonderfully warm -- it's an equivalent of a really hearty meal with a couple of very friendly, supportive people that you wish were your friends. It's weird that a recipe book should make me feel so emotional, but it does. It really set the mood with its introduction of the two authors: one a native Thai woman now residing in Finland, whose dayjob is giving language lessons to those who wish to connect to their legacy by learning the language, and the other a mixed race woman who met her online, when she started learning Thai in hopes of connecting to the language of her mother. And their shared love food shines through every page, and it's second only to their love for education, because the patience and desire to share the love for traditional dishes by making them something one can understand and make at home makes this book a delightful read. I am a massive spice wimp, but I can already feel persuaded to try a few things from the book. And the art is so cute!

Thank you #Netgalley for a copy of #NoodlesRiceandEverythingSpice, I really enjoyed it.

This is one of the cutest things I have ever seen, & I want more cookbooks like this. I often find myself disinterested in cookbooks aside from the recipes alone, & often skipping through a lot of those too. This book is adorable enough that I want to read all of it. I think it would also be great for newbies or kids. I would love to show this to my daughter when she's older & take a trip to the Asian store (which has been weekly, anyway)

The kids were fully intrigued by this book. We read it over a few days and then we’re off to the Asian market to explore all of the ingredients. The authors do an amazing job of explain the nuances of Thai cooking (including history and regions) and the ingredients needed. Not only did it get the kids excited about exploring Thai culture and food, it gave me a better grasp on how to cook Thai food. We loved this book, found it to be a valuable resource and are excited to add the hard copy to our cookbook collection when it comes out!

I enjoyed learning about Thailand and its food. The authors give you basic history and how it influenced the food in the book. The art is totally cute and I enjoyed looking at it as I read through. The instructions are detailed but easy to follow. I love how I was shown step-by-step how to fold spring rolls.
I really loved the pictures of the actual food that are incorporated. But there wasn't enough of them; I like to know how the food is supposed to look.

Such a cute book. If you ever wanted to cook Thai food but not be intimidated, this book is for you!

I love Thai food and comic boons this was a great combination of the two. Definitely lots of recipes that I'm looking forward to trying out.

A delicious introduction to Thai cooking! The authors share their backgrounds and favorite dishes along with historical and cultural notes about the regional foods of Thailand. The recipes are beautifully illustrated step by step, making them very easy to follow, and the sheer joy of cooking and eating comes through on every page. (Watch for Chef Mallika's happy lip-smacking expressions!) A real treat, not to be read on an empty stomach. 4 stars.

Thank you, Ten Speed Press and NetGalley, for providing an eARC of this book. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

This was such a fun take on a cookbook - I loved that it blended narrative storytelling, graphic novel, and cook books! It provided an interesting take on the history and culture of Thai food, as well as food from a variety of geographical areas and their influences. For me, because this utilizes a lot of ingredients and techniques of cooking outside my comfort zone, it wouldn't be an easy cookbook to jump into, though I don't think this is broadly true. I LOVED that this illustrated the steps of cooking with illustrations, but the downside of that is that it began to feel a bit repetitive with the overlap across pages. Overall, a fun take on a cookbook!
