I have been a fan of Kasma Loha-unchit's since first
reading her award-winning It Rains Fishes. In Dancing Shrimp, she once again gives us a
jewel with enchanting prose, extensive information, and delightful recipes.
– Nina Simonds, author of A Spoonful of Ginger
Dancing Shrimp: Favorite Thai Recipes For Seafood
by: Kasma Loha-unchit, Simon & Schuster, October 2000 ( 304 pages, $30.00 ),
Hardcover, ISBN: 0-684-86272-7. Now out of print. Dancing Shrimp, published by Simon & Schuster
is a book of Kasma's favorite Thai Recipes for Seafood including both traditional
Thai recipes and Kasma's original recipes. It contains a wealth of information on how to
work with a variety of fish, shellfish and mollusks. One chapter contains detailed
information about all of the ingredients used in the book – Kasma's husband thinks this
chapter alone makes the book worth owning. As with her previous book,
It Rains Fishes, the detailed cooking methods,instructions and recipes are
woven into a tapestry of cultural imagery, folklore and personal impressions of the
country where Kasma grew up. Now out of print, it may still be available as a used book from places such as Amazon. We hope to begin selling it through this website in March 2005. Options: Table of
