The Thai Cookbook Daniel Humphreys

Thai food is hands down one of my favourite takeouts. There is literally never a time when I don't want a delicious sweet, sour, salty, spicy, coconutty Thai curry! But, I don't always have the money for takeout, and I do love cooking. Also, unfortunately a lot of takeout food is cooked with a whole load of added salt and oil. So, taking all of that into account, it seems only logical to make our own delicious, full of flavour Thai food at home! I'm going to guess that, like me, some of your favourite Thai dishes are Green Curry, Pad Thai and Tom Yung Goong. Well, here's the good news - all of those recipes are in this book! In creating this book though, I also had the chance to discover some other Thai food, less celebrated sometimes in the take out stores! So, if you're feeling like you want to discover the hit of flavour that is Khanom Gluay (steamed banana puddings), Sang Kaya Fakthong (pumpkin custard) or Mi Krop (crispy stir fry) then this is the book for you! Thai food is all about getting that perfect balance of flavour - the perfect harmony between the sweet, sour, salty and spicy, and when you do get it, trust me, it'll smack you in the face and you will LOVE it! So, for Roti, Pla Nueng Manoa (Garlic & Lime fish) and Khao Neow Ma Muang (Sweet & Sticky Mango Rice), turn the page and let's go!
