Description and Table of Contents
Description
Phia Sing was once Master of Ceremonies and Chef at the royal palace of Luang Prabang, and this book is a translation of Lao recipes which he collected. The first edition, published in 1981, included a facsimile of the Lao text; this edition contains only the English version, together with the explanatory introduction and notes on Lao ingredients and methods, by Alan and Jennifer Davidson. The 124 recipes are preceded by information about Lao eating habits, utensils and ingredients, and the book is illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by the Lao artis, Soun Vannithone.
