Covering soups, noodles, salads, stir-fries, grilled dishes, curries and desserts, this tantalizing collection includes such favorites as Som Tam, a fiery grated raw papaya salad and Khao Niew Mamuang, a mango and sticky rice creation - easily the most popular Thai dessert.

True Thai by Sodsook, Victor

True Thai is one of those rare and important cookbooks where cuisine and culture meet. Food lovers will come away with layers of understanding, discovering the soul of a country where cuisine is a sacred art. True Thai takes us from the jostling Bangkok streets and canals to countryside rice paddles and mango groves, from distant mountain villages to Thailand's stately Royal Palace, delivering True Thai taste in every sense of the word. Victor Sodsook, a native Thai, chef/owner of Los Angeles's celebrated Siamese Princess restaurant, has written the authoritative Thai cookbook that American cooks have been waiting for. True Thai satisfies an increasing public interest in the seductive flavors of Thai cuisine, and a decreasing emphasis on high-fat, high-calorie red meats, eggs, and oils. The lively, easy-to-follow recipes are tailor-made for today's adventurous, aware cook. Most of the tools and ingredients used in True Thai are probably already in your kitchen. And its wide-ranging glossary of ingredients will help you select the most flavorful spices and freshest produce, as well as the best brands of key Thai ingredients like coconut milk and fish sauce. Among True Thai's 250 recipes, you'll find the many Thai dishes that have already won over Americans, such as Crispy Sweet Rice Noodles (mee krob) and soothing, aromatic Chicken-Coconut Soup with Siamese Ginger and Lemon Grass (tom kha kai). Everything is here, from the deliciously spiced barbecued chickens found in Thai provinces to the elaborate and time honored cuisines served to Thailand's royal family, such as King Rama V's Fried Rice. Since Thailand teems with both fresh- and saltwater fish and shellfish, you'll find an abundance of healthful, provocative seafood dishes, such as Ayuthaya Haw Mok Talay, a scrumptious mousse of curried fish, shrimp, and crab, redolent with chili and coconut milk, grilled and served in fragrant banana leaves. Surprisingly light preparations for meat include Fiery Grilled Beef Salad, a classic of Bangkok cafe cuisine, and mu kratiem phrik Thai, a simple stir-fry of pork medallions sizzling with garlic and black pepper. The Thai Vegetarian Cooking chapter is really a whole book unto itself, encompassing its own blend of curry pastes, soups, appetizers, entrees, and one-dish meals-all completely free of animal or fish products. The Thai Salads chapter showcases such recipes as Coconut, Lemon, and Ginger Salad or Grilled Lobster Salad with Green Mango that demonstrate the great variety and sensuousness of this branch of Thai cooking. Drinks and desserts include such ethereal treats as Rose-Petal Sorbet and the refreshingly herbaceous Lemon Grass Tea, wonderful either hot or cold. There's also a chapter that shows how to marry these newfound Thai tastes with classic American cooking, through such improvisations as Bangkok Burgers with Marinated, Grilled Onions and Spicy Thai Ketchup. True Thai is more than a cookbook; it is a collection of grace notes exempl

Classic Thai Cuisine by Thompson, David

In this inviting collection of classic Thai recipes, the acclaimed chef has selected one hundred of his favorite dishes--from a plate of glistening noodles to graceful feasts from the royal table.

Thai Food by Thompson, David

2003 James Beard Award Winner! International Category! Renowned chef David Thompson first went to Thailand by mistake; a holiday plan had to be changed at the last minute, and he ended up in Bangkok, where he was seduced by the people, culture, and cuisine. Since that fateful trip some 20 years ago, Thailand has become David's second home. Working alongside cooks who perfected their craft in the Thai food places, he began to document the traditional recipes and culinary techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation. The result is this volume, the most comprehensive account of this ancient and exotic cuisine ever published in English. Thompson writes about Thailand and its food with an easy erudition, encouraging readers to cook and experiment, while simultaneously fostering a respect for the food and its stewardship through the ages. Although all the classic, well-loved recipes are here, this magnum opus features hundreds of lesser-known but equally authentic and delicious Thai dishes that will inspire cooks to go beyond green curry chicken and Thai fish cakes. Thompson's passion and conviction are infectious; complemented by Earl Carter's superb photography, this book captures all aspects of dynamic Thai culture and cuisine.

Cracking the Coconut by Yu, Su-Mei

Chef and cooking teacher Su-Mei Yu shares the Thai love of cooking in Cracking the Coconut, the first cookbook to present Thai recipes prepared in the authentic and traditional manner. While other cookbooks on the subject suggest using convenience ingredients (which only dilute the complex flavors of Thai food), Su-Mei explains how to make these preparations from scratch, including chile pastes, coconut milk and cream and spice mixtures. The results are nothing short of extraordinary. This book contains more than 175 recipes, but is much more than just a recipe collection. Su-Mei presents a history of Thai cooking woven through with the people and customs that shaped it. Every cooking technique is described in exquisite detail, from wrapping ingredients with banana leaves to the hand motions used for grinding in a mortar and pestle. The cultural significance of ingredients and recipes is illuminated through carefully researched history and family stories. The author discusses how to prepare and use exotic foods and spices, how to match flavors and everything else necessary for building a foundation for authentic Thai cooking.
