About the Author

Saiphin grew up on a mountain farm in Khao Kho, Northern Thailand, where she learned to cook with ingredients brought straight from field to wok. When she was 20, Saiphin moved to Hong Kong as a nanny where she spent the next 18 years cooking endless family meals and dinner parties, fitting catering jobs around her babysitting duties. Shortly after meeting Alex in 2001, she set up her own Thai takeaway and later a sitdown restaurant named Tuk Tuk Thai. The pair lived in Hong Kong for 6 years, before selling the restaurant and moving to London together in 2006.

Rosa's Thai Cafe
Founded by Anglo-Thai husband and wife team Alex and Saiphin Moore, Rosa's is a Thai café group that has grown from a street-food stall in Brick Lane in 2008 to 10 London restaurants today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021

I am a big fan of Thai food but find it difficult to order many of the foods I like because so many of them include fish sauce. So far I have made about a dozen recipes from this book and they have all been delicious, strictly vegetarian (most of them vegan) and not too difficult or time-consuming. My family (not vegetarians) has enjoyed them all as well.
My only slightly negative comments: Some of the ingredients are difficult/impossible to get in my small town. Also, the recipes tend to be on the spicy side which tastes good but is a little surprising if you aren't ready for it.
Overall: a great cookbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine for reference

I am half Thai but am allergic to seafood so this cookbook is a good reference when cooking my favorite Thai dishes. It’s not written very well though. Measurements are vague (1 onion- but how many grams? Large onion or small onion?) and cooking times seem off. I wouldn’t recommend this book if you’re a serious cook and are cooking for more than 1 person. The serving sizes are so small it’s not enough for two people. The photos are beautiful though and I’m sure the restaurant is very good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tofu. And more tofu.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2023

I have not cooked from this yet, but it would have been nice to know before buying that 46 recipes are indexed under TOFU, and several more under TVP.

I don’t eat tofu that frequently, and have gotten pretty good at swapping out other vegetarian proteins, but probably would not have purchased if I had known it was that soy focused.

I’m a big fan of the restaurants and was looking forward to trying the recipes, but many of them rely on store bought, pre-prepared sauces and mixes. I wish they broke down how to actually prepare them at home, that was the whole point of buying the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Printing issue
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018
I am always looking for Tofu recipes and this book has tons of them and they are good. Biggest con for me is that the ingredients are printed in a small light grey type which is nearly impossible to see. I don’t know what the publisher was thinking.

1.0 out of 5 stars I cannot read the ingredient list, such light type
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019
I'm sure these recipes are great, but I'll never know for sure. I can't read the ingredient list as the type is a light grey. I don't know what the publisher was thinking.

The side tips are written in a reasonable font and type so those are easy to see, but the actual ingredients who knows what it says! My eyes hurt.

Je suis déçue, ce n'est pas ce à quoi je m'attendais..trop de recettes au tofu et au bambou. Je pensais y trouver plein de recettes au wok avec beaucoup de légumes mais à 1 ère vue les associations ne font pas rêver..

Love this book. Everything we have made has been delicious. I'm stunned by my ability to cook such delicious recipes, with this gem of a book's help. The butter bean curry is gorgeous in particular. Most recipes need a lot of ingredients but once you have them it's fine, and they tend to be quick!
