Thai Street Food: Authentic Recipes, Vibrant Traditions [A Cookbook]
Description
Thai Street Food transports readers straight into the bustling heart of
Thailand’s colorful street stalls and markets–from the predawn rounds of
monks fanning out along the aisles to the made-to-order stalls ablaze in neon
and jammed with hungry locals after dark. Featuring nearly 100 authentic
dishes plus lavish photography accompanying every recipe, this stunning
cookbook is the definitive guide to Thailand’s culinary street culture. The
recipes, such as Steamed Fish with Chilli and Lime Sauce, Pork Satay, Roast
Duck and Egg Noodle Soup, and Sweet Banana Roti illuminate the beguiling world
of food so integral to the Thais. Scholar and chef David Thompson lives with a
singular passion for Thailand’s customs, culture, and people. Although he
claims “It’s all about the food,” this ambitious work shares his insights into
the rhythms and nuances of Thai daily life along with a fascinating history of
its richly diverse street cuisine. This cookbook is a tempting, inspiring, and
authoritative account of Thai street food, the vibrant culinary mosaic rich
with community. Read more
