Description
The range and diversity of Thai cooking
is showcased in this magnificent
collection of authentic recipes from each
of the four regions of Thailand.
From the South where the cooking
reflects a Malay influence, comes a tanta-
lizing array of curries and delicious
seafood dishes. The Central Plains region]
with the huge] vibrant city of Bangkok as
its focus] is the most fertile part of the
country and is rich in fresh produce.
The North has a very distinctive cuisine
based on glutinous rice and the dishes
that accompany it are generally milder
than those of the Central and North-
eastern regions. In the Northeast the
influence of nearby Laos is felt and
dishes tend to be highly spiced.
Thai-born chef and culinary expert
Panurat Poladitmontri and his partner
Judy Lew, have prepared this superb
collection of authentic recipes each of
which has been individually photo-
graphed by leading food photographer
John Hay and beautifully styled by Ann
Creber. Internationally renowned
photographers Luca Invernizzi Tettoni
and John Hay present a spectacular collec-
tion of photographs to show Thailand’s
great scenic diversity, from the beaches
and jungles of the South to the misty
mountains of the North and the varied
lives of its people. William Warren who
has spent many years in Thailand writes
with an insider’ s knowledge. He takes
the reader on an absorbing trip around
the country, discussing the various
influences-historical] physical racial and
cultural-that have formed the distinctive
culture of the Thai people.
An extensive glossary ensures that any
cooks who are unfamiliar with oriental
ingredients and presentation will have
no difficulty in bringing this wonderful
selection of Thai dishes to their tables.
An absolutely stunning preloved book in very good to excellent condition with the exception of some wear to bottom of paper cover and remanents of a sticky note placed at the top of page 57 that is adhering tightly to the top of the page (does not interfer with the recipe below). A book we would love to keep in our private cookbook collection but regretfully must sell.
256 pages. Beautiful colour photography.
Hardcover.
