She begins by taking readers on a beautifully photographed trip to Thailand to explore the culinary culture central to Thai food. With foolproof and easy-to-follow instructions, Pailin breaks down the key ingredients, flavours, equipment and techniques necessary to master authentic Thai cooking. Then, she shares her must-make recipes for curries, soups, salads and stir-fries, including entire chapters on vegetarian and vegan dishes, dips and desserts. Review: A fantastic introduction to Thai Food. - I now have the print edition of Pai's book in addition to the Kindle version that I bought when it was first released and I am very happy. I visit Thailand every year so my interest in Thai food grows with each visit and Pai adds to my interest with her You Tube videos which are always great to watch. Always informative and always great food. This book is the natural extension to her video success and I love it. The print version, for me, is so much better than the Kindle version (although that made a nice, relaxing read whilst hiding from the Cypriot sun under a parasol earlier this year). The print version is better for me as a 'cook book'. It will be taken into the kitchen, will probably get grubby through use which inevitability leads to food fingerprints everywhere. I am a bit of a cookbook junkie and nearly always come back from Thailand with at least one Thai Food book. I must have 35 or 40 in my collection including a couple of the massive coffee table type books by another author. This will be my new 'go to' Thai cookbook for most of the time simply because of its authenticity and fairly easy to replicate recipes. Fortunately, there is a Thai Supermarket about 10 minutes away so getting the ingredients is easy. On to the book itself. For the new to Thai cuisine reader I like the idea of having the first part of the book 'Understanding Thai Cuisine'. It is good for me too even though I am familiar with Thai food. Understanding the culture of eating is vital and Pai is very clear with her information. Many cookbooks go straight into the recipes but Pai is different. The first recipe doesn't appear until page 93. She has tried to make the understanding of the eating culture, ingredients and equipment as important as the recipes (which they all are). There are some 'typical Thai' recipes along with many others but for me Pai has produced a very good Thai food 'manual' that beginners and enthusiasts alike will enjoy and benefit from. As for the recipes themselves Pai has included a good selection of dishes, fish, meat, vegetable, sweet, soups and Curries (obviously). I had a couple of questions for Pai and she very graciously replied-quickly too. One was about a piece of equipment she uses in her videos and the other was about Chicken or Prawn 'Thai Curry' which every single tourist will have tried and noticed that none of them taste the same from restaurant to restaurant to Street vendor. Her advice was that although Thai food has a basic structure per dish, recipes are just a guide. Great advice because I have asked my Thai friends for recipes and keep being told "It is only Thai Curry it is easy". Use Pai's introduction section as much as the recipe pages... Review: Life's a journey, not just a destination - I've never been much of a fan of cook books, because they tend to be rather abrupt and point-and-click in nature. The end result may be great, but if you can't engage with and relate to the process then it's not fulfilling. Great today, but forgotten by tomorrow, if you will. If that's what you want or relate to then don't worry, this book is overflowing with great, easy and fast recipes and Thai cuisine is mind boggling when it comes to value for money. As someone else said you can try before you buy via youtube and the website and appreciate the quality of her recipes yourself. But there's far more to this book than that. If you've ever watched Hot Thai Kitchen on Youtube you will know that the reason for its success is not just the delicious finished dish on offer, for you can get great recipes for any dish instantly these days. The reason HTK has become such a monstrous runaway success is the character and personality of Pailin ensures every single episode is packed full of insights, lessons and tips that give you an understanding of each component of every dish which means you actually know what you're doing and aiming for when you try it. The fear with this book was whether that magnificent, priceless knowledge would be lost in text format and become another point-and-click cook book. Turns out, this is not really a "cook book" per se. Sure, there's 140+ pages of fantastic recipes, and they are written and formatted in a way that captures the HTK magic such that you could not confuse them with any other chef. But then there's the 90+ pages wealth of information about Thai cuisine and food culture. No, this is not really a cook book. It's more like a ticket to a Thai culinary odyssey. If you have any interest in cooking, in Thai food, or even simply in Thailand itself then there's only one conclusion to be drawn: Beautiful, fascinating, delicious...you must buy this book! ## Features - Hot Thai Kitchen Demystifying Thai Cuisine with Authentic Recipes to Make at Home ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 274,020 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 48 in Thai Food & Drink 364 in Other Asian Food & Drink 1,709 in Food & Travel Writing | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,164 Reviews | ## Images ![Hot Thai Kitchen: Demystifying Thai Cuisine with Authentic Recipes to Make at Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81shtkwdvOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic introduction to Thai Food. *by R***M on 1 October 2016* I now have the print edition of Pai's book in addition to the Kindle version that I bought when it was first released and I am very happy.
