The soul of Thai cuisine comes alive on the streets. Thai cuisine is loved for its distinctive flavors and aromas. The most popular dishes actually come from street-side food stalls. This book features 25 addresses of markets and restaurants in Bangkok and its surroundings, showing where to enjoy authentic food. Richly illustrated, it offers over 65 recipes that go beyond traditional red, yellow, and green curry recipes: the scent of lemongrass, fresh coriander, galangal, and coconut milk wafts up as you open the book. The author has gathered a wealth of information and images during his travels. He describes the variety of products, shares culinary highlights, mentions different cooking techniques and local eating habits, and provides insider tips for Thai street food. Tom Vandenberghe is a passionate cook.
