Ken
Hom's Foolproof Thai Cookery
In
Foolproof Thai Cookery, Ken Hom demystifies this delicious
and popular cuisine and shows how easy it is to recreate authentic
Thai food in your own home. He has been visiting Thailand for decades
and learnt the fundamentals of Thai cooking techniques, ingredients,
flavours and harmonies in the Oriental Hotel, Bangkok. In this book
he passes on his knowledge so that everyone can cook forty of the
best known Thai dishes guided by Ken's step-by-step instructions,
and clear, colour photographs to accompany every stage.
There
is something for every taste, whether you want the healthy Spicy
noodle salad or the supremely comforting Coconut chicken soup; or
to experiment with sweet and sour Phad thai and hot and spicy Green
curry prawns. There are simple dishes for a hungry family, such
as Stir-fried minced pork with basil, and more exotic ones for entertaining,
including Chicken in pandan leaves. The tried-and-tested recipes
include tasty soups and starters, quick and easy fish, meat and
vegetarian main courses, and a variety of delicious accompaniments.
With
a menu planner and a comprehensive guide to essential Thai ingredients,
Ken Hom's Foolproof Thai Cookery will prove invaluable to the experienced
cook and the novice alike.
Ken
says, "I remember my first taste of Thai food, exploding with
spices and herbs in combinations I had never imagined. Since then
I have sampled and feasted my way through many colourful food markets,
restaurants and home kitchens throughout Thailand. My hope is that
you will use this book as a handy and helpful guide to the increasingly
popular cuisine of Thailand and that you will find, as I have, how
wonderful, refreshing and easy Thai cookery can be."
