Matt Goulding

Co-founder of Roads & Kingdoms and author of Rice, Noodle, Fish: Deep Travels Through Japan’s Food Culture

One of the few cookbooks whose recipes I try to follow to the letter, because you know that the results will be exceptional. And they always are. Add to that Ricker's (and Goode's) gift as a writer and storyteller and you have the makings of a classic.

Jeff Stutsman

Director of Operations, Momofuku Culinary Lab

Such a great portrait of the flavors and people of Thailand. His passion and commitment to exploring and understanding this country's cuisine is a remarkable and has really changing the way we think of Thai food in this country.
