The Food of Thailand: A Journey for Food Lovers Kay Halsey, Lulu Grimes, et al.)

Thailand has a well-known and well-loved repertoire of dishes, some more familiar than others. This culinary journey guides readers through Bangkok`s markets to the seafood freshly cooked on the beaches of the Gulf of Thailand, to the sweet-makers of Phetchaburi province to the rice-growing hill tribes of the northern region.

The Food of Thailand features a myriad of dishes that make up modern Thai cuisine: from traditional green, red, and panaeng curries, eaten by every Thai, to salads like som tam and laap, redolent with herbs and chillies, and coconut-based soups, including the famous tom khaa kai.
