From Lonely Planet, the world's leading travel guide publisher, From the Source is a groundbreaking cookbook series that introduces food lovers and travel enthusiasts to the world's most authentic local dishes by transporting them into the kitchens where they were perfected.

Kindle version is organized funny

I like how the book is broken up by region. I found it difficult using the kindle version figuring out which images and blurbs went along with which photos.

A gorgeous, sumptuous tour de force. The book is beautifully printed, with full- page photos of locations and recipes. Famous chefs in Thailand serve up their favorite dishes, oftentimes an enhanced version of a beloved childhood treat from their hometown province. All four Thai region's cuisine are well represented.
