"Very simple but delicious Thai salad. Great for a summer dinner or lunch. Slightly modified from a recipe in "Main Course Classics" by Jenni Fleetwood which is a great cookbook."

This was delicious! Shiitake mushroomes are difficult to get here, so I used button mushrooms, but that didn't affect the taste, I suppose. This clearly will be a keeper! Thanks for posting.

I am 31, and a cytotechnologist in the Navy (Don't know what it is? Don't feel bad, few people do)with just under 10 years to retirement. Kerrbear is my wife and we have two GREAT kids, Aidyn (4) and Kelsi (2). Next to my family hockey is my favorite thing in the world, watching, playing, anything to do with hockey, in particular my sons hockey and the Vancouver Canucks. After hockey cooking is the other thing I really enjoy. I'm very open to trying new foods of all cuisines, however the one thing I refuse to try is balut. I could not see myself trying it without MUCH help from a bottle of something very strong.
