My mother in law is about to marry an old fellow who isn't used to thai food and who will eventually (like me) tire of rice with every single dish. Does anyone know of any site that specialises in farang/western dishes for the thai cook? We have many cook books, but as they don't understand the details in the instructions they sort of just give up!

Thanks for any info!

Have a look around www.pantip.com/cafe/ as it has some western food recipes in Thai script. This will give her a start.

A few years ago a friend of mine, Gill Bater, wrote a book for exactly this need called "Farang Food", which has the recipes and instructions in both languages side-by-side.

As far as I know its still in print.

Call (not if you're in OZ!) or email the American Women's Club of Thailand.  They used to have a good cookbook in both English (American style, sorry, no Strine) and Thai.  Lots and lots of recipies.

We have a great book, but it is in, yes, Thai script, and I cannot read the details. It has ISBN number 974-7590-11-5 It has many very nice western dishes, and g/f bought it to make it easier to cook this type of food. G/f not at home, but there is a website and e-mail you can try: sangdad.com and [email protected]

Good luck!
