Product Description

Product Description
Vatch's Thai Cookbook is an evocative journey through the main regions of Thailand, in search of the individual sauces, herbs and spices which make up the rich and unmistakable taste of the world's favourite 'exotic' cuisine. The book gives information on how to recognize, choose, prepare and preserve the 39 essential ingredients that lie at the heart of Thai cooking. From Lemon Grass to Pickled Garlic, each ingredient has its own section, with easy-to-follow recipes that highlight its particular pungent flavour. The 130 recipes intersperse these ingredient sections, with such mouthwatering dishes as Hot and Sour Soup with Prawns and Lemon, Fried Fish with Crispy Garlic and Steamed Mushroom Curry with Sweet Basil. This culinary journey is set in its cultural context. Each chapter begins with an introduction to a different part of the country associated with the particular ingredients which follow, including some of the lesser-known parts of Thailand; the North East, the South and the Gulf Islands. The book is a valuable guide not only to the cook, but also to the more adventurous traveller in search of a better understanding of the country and its cooking.

About the Author
Descended from the Thai Royal Family, Vatcharin Bhumichitr has a natural love of both his country's food and its ancient religions and rich cultural fabric. He is the proprietor of the famous Chiang Mai restaurant in London's Soho. Vatch has written two other best sellers for Pavilion, Thai Vegetarian Cooking and Vatch's Thai Cookbook. He lives in London.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent combination of recipes and travelogue, 20 Dec 2001
By K. C. Batchelor "batch" (Bedford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book not only has excellent well explained recipes but an excellent guide to ingredients and their alternatives. The narrative that takes you in a regional tour of the country adds to the sense of adventure. I had never cooked Thai foods before using Vatchs recipes and found them reliable and easy to follow. I have the hard back version of this book - this edition was brought as a gift as the hard back was unavailable but my gripe with the paper back is that is perfect bound which means it won't lie open - a real pain in the kitchen!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is more than just a cook book!, 23 Oct 2003
By ALW Hedges "happy snapper" (Norwich, Norfolk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Beautiful photographs of a beautiful land, this is a trip around Thailand with cooking to the fore. Some of the ingredients are difficult to get hold of, but on the whole a very worthy book. If like me, you love thai food and you have the time to indulge, it is worth getting this book.
