"I felt like the luckiest person on earth when I not only met Chawadee, but had her as my personal food navigator through Bangkok. We walked, boated, and ate our way through some of the best food I've ever had, all thanks to Chawadee, her warmth and expertise. And now you get to have the next best thing: her fantastic book. Enjoy every delicious bite." —Phil Rosenthal ("Somebody Feed Phil")

        Bangkok-based food blogger Nualkhair (Thailand’s Best Street Food) and Secret Kiwi Kitchen founder Taylor (Feasting on Flowers) explore classic dishes and ongoing culinary innovation in this illuminating tour of Thailand’s vibrant cuisine. The authors work region by region through the country’s “patchwork quilt” of culinary styles, retracing the historical and foreign influences that shape the flavors of each. Recipes from central Thailand’s rice region, including sweet and spicy shrimp paste fried rice and fried lacy eggs with Thai dressing, rely on building blocks of fish sauce, lemongrass, galangal, and coconut milk. Milder, northern-style meat dishes include nam prik ong, a minced pork ragu eaten with pork rinds, sticky rice, and cabbage. In Isaan, to the northeast, influences from neighboring Laos and Vietnam come through in mashed eggplant salad and spring rolls filled with minced chicken. Known for seafood and “ear-ringingly, eye-wateringly spicy” plates, southern-style favorites include steamed fish balls and glass noodle salad with deep-fried shallots. Additional chapters dedicated to dips, sauces, desserts, and tropical cocktails round things out, and a list of essential equipment, tips for preparing steamed rice, and 10 menus help make these recipes accessible. Home cooks are sure to be inspired.

        The duo of food writer Chawadee Nualkhair (Thailand's Best Street Food, 2022) and recipe tester/editor/photographer Lauren Lulu Taylor brings readers a cookbook that is just as much a guided tour of Thailand's food culture. With tips and background knowledge, this book will teach readers how to make everything from dips and sauces (nam prik tomato chili dip) to street food (Thai sukiyaki), main dishes (Massaman curry), and desserts (mango sticky rice). The authors go a step further, sharing Thai cooking secrets, like using only unscented oils and serving food at room temperature; exploring Thailand's regional cooking styles (northern regions rely on heartier dishes, while southern cuisine tends to be spicier); and offering menu suggestions with various combinations of appetizers, mains, and desserts that go well together. This book will be well appreciated by anyone looking to make Thai food at home.
