SHOWCASING THE DIVERSITY OF FISH FROM THE MEKONG RIVER AND ITS TRIBUTARIES, FISH AND FISH DISHES OF LAOS, BY ALAN DAVIDSON FIRST EDITION, 1975.
Alan Davidson was a well-travelled British diplomat and writer of gastronomy. He published over a good dozen books, most studying, classifying, and offering recipes for fish. Alan Davidson's Fish And Fish Dishes Of Laos contains a well-compiled list of fish species, as well as a collection of traditional Laotian recipes. Due to Laos being a landlocked country, the fish and fish dishes are regional to the Mekong River and its tributaries. The scientific description and regional recipes make this a unique cookery book. There is also details about local ingredients and cooking methods and as well as drawings by Elian Prasith Souvannavong, Thao Soun and Thao Singha, and preface by Princess Marina. A scarce and attractive first edition
