Thai Food and Cooking


This beautiful new book is not only a visual catalogue, it includes over 100 wonderful fragrant recipes to try out, as well as the fascinating history and traditions surrounding this rich culture.
Customer Review: Beautiful produced Thai cookbook
This lovely book is artfully produced, with 2-3 attractive photographs per recipe, both of the food prep and the finished product. This isn't just a cookbook. It is a primer on Thai history, cooking techniques, ingredients, equipment, and more, with over 60 non-recipe pages. The recipes are given both in metric and US measurements. For example: 900 ml / 1 1/2 pints / 3 3/4 cups vegetable stock. The recipes are explained with clarity, so that even if one is unfamiliar with the dish, it's easy to follow the instructions. This book will help you produce beautiful, interesting, simple, delicious Thai meals. This book is published in paperback as Thai: The Essence of Asian Cooking
Customer Review: simple and great tasting
Have tried several recipes and they are not only simple but taste great. Quick prep time too.


The Food Company did not disappoint, they had all the local favorites from fish and seafood/sushi items to authentic Asian dishes. They also had a light Polynesian menu as well. I tried the Bar-B-Que bento mix plate and it was delicious. The prices were ok but the food was well worth it.

Restaurants in Kailua - Enchanted Lake Oahu, Hawaii

It was interesting because I had heard of "The Food Company" restaurant by a few locals and also from the website. But one thing that I noticed while working earlier in the day was that at 9:30 in the morning even before the store opened there was four people outside waiting to get in. As the day went on the customers never stopped coming to 'The Food Company' for a bite to eat and at lunch the place was packed. I decided that 100+ people couldn't be wrong so Ill go ahead and try out their menu.

While I was working in Kailua (Oahu Hawaii) I had the benefit of eating out at a restaurant on my lunch break every day that I was stationed out there. I was scheduled to work 7 days in Kailua so I know I would have the chance to eat at a lot of places.

Day three of my work week on the east side of Oahu, Hawaii brought me to a town within the Kailua area called Enchanted lake. By the looks of the map it seemed as though the town was situated in a tight 1 mile circumference with a two way road looping you around the town. We were installing light fixtures in a restaurant called "Round Table Pizza" located in the Enchanted lake Shopping center. Soon after that we jumped across the street to install the same lighting in "The Shack" restaurant which is kind of a sport bar with breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.

I was on a search to find some food for my lunch break here in Enchanted lake, Kailua. After working in the Round table pizza Hawaii restaurant I took my lunch break and headed down the shopping center to a restaurant called "The Food Company".
