Included in the book are appetizers, desserts and breads, cakes and petits fours; fish and seafood, and meat and poultry recipes.
LCBD brand ambassador, Phol Tantasanthien, and Thai celebrity chef, Khun Reed, also contributed their own recipes for the book. The book is now on sale at Bt1,000 (Thailand) and Bt1,500 (overseas price). All revenue generated by the book sales will go to Operation Smile Thailand.
