116. Feast of Flavors from the Thai Kitchen by Lydia Leong


BOOK REVIEW: Feast of Flavours from the Thai Kitchen by Lydia Leong

Thailand is a land of mystique; history and modernity intertwine and coil themselves around its inhabitants. The food is far from bland with its herbs and spices and full-bodied flavour profiles. Thai cuisine is not something we Malaysians are adverse, we practically enjoy every spoonful of it. Cooking it is also a breeze with the right ingredients and techniques which this book clarifies in detail.

This book is a fully illustrated series that offers insights into the exciting culinary traditions of Asia. It is a fascinating introduction to the exotic ingredients and unique culinary heritage of the region.

It also provides valuable insights into the various techniques of food preparation and the cooking styles used in the various Asian kitchens. These tantalizing recipes are each accompanied by clear step-by-step instructions and photographs.

Feast of Flavours from the Thai Kitchen is filled with recipes that are easy-to-prepare yet highly representative of the fresh and tasty flavours of Thai cooking. From the aromatic fried rice with prawn paste and tangy papaya salad to the highly popular Thai chicken curry and refreshing pomegranate seeds in coconut milk, this book is the ultimate guide to Thai cooking.


With the presence of reputable Thai restaurants popping up like mushrooms after a rain, from Thai Express to Jan Jan Thai, replicating something absolutely Thai in your home kitchen will be able to satiate those cravings when you are unable to step out of the confines of your home. Sawadeekap!
