Once you add Thai Cuisine Beyond Curry to your kitchen library, you’ll be as close as you can be to the true taste of Thailand without booking a flight to Bangkok. That’s because when Chef Chai Siriyarn, of San Francisco’s award-winning Marnee Thai Restaurant, aims to take your taste buds beyond curry, he really means it. For the first time, Chef Chai shares 82 of his favorite recipes with you, including familiar favorites like Spicy Angel Wings and Pad Thai; regional rarities such as Noodles with Curry Sauce, Northern Style; and the elegantly updated classicism of family specialties like his grandmother’s Steamed Fish Fillet in Curry Mousse.
These versatile dishes make the perfect fit with today’s contemporary dining style, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients, wholesome preparations, and an all-around celebration of the pleasures of the table. Serve a refreshingly healthful Banana Blossom and Artichoke Salad as an unexpected summer supper. Wow friends at your next dinner party with the surprisingly addictive Son-in-Law Eggs. Marvel at all the clever ways you can turn plain-old noodles into uniquely Thai creations. And while
the book’s scope extends beyond those tried-and-true curries, never fear: Steps for making all the basic Thai curry pastes, as
well as plenty of recipes that put them to delicious use, are right at your fingertips.
With easy-to-follow instructions, glorious full-color photos accompanying each recipe, a glossary of Thai ingredients, and plenty
of Chef Chai’s personal kitchen tips, you couldn’t be in better shape to tackle Thai cooking if you were standing at his side at
Marnee’s stove. Consider Thai Cuisine Beyond Curry your invitation to dive into the wonders of Thailand’s tastes. Exploring what
