Bold and Exotic. Diverse and Pungent. Sweet, sour, salty and hot. Crunchy. Bright and fragrant. Soothing. Unique. Alive. The food of Thailand is all these things and more, a cuisine that explodes your taste buds with aromatic essences, piquant flavors and abundant textures. These words are meant to describe a food, but they also describe Katie Chin—a chef whose personality comes roaring through in her new cookbook, EVERYDAY THAI COOKING.

A true lover of Asian cuisines, Katie Chin learned the secrets of Chinese cooking in her mother’s kitchen, the award-winning restaurateur Leeann Chin. Over the years, Katie’s interest in other Asian foods has continued to evolve, with Thai food holding a very special place in her heart—and stomach! Let Katie show you why it’s the favorite food of so many people as she walks you through the surprisingly easy steps needed to create a spectacular Thai meal. In EVERYDAY THAI COOKING, Katie shares her recipe secrets along with tips, tools, and techniques that enable you to easily bring delectable homemade Thai dishes to your table!

A well-respected food writer, television personality, and published author, Katie is also a working mother of toddler twins. Understanding the time constraints of working families, Katie realized there was a need for simple, easy and delicious Thai recipes that call for accessible ingredients and EVERYDAY THAI COOKING delivers just that. Offering basic recipes for staple dishes that include both homemade and store-bought options, Katie provides a litany of incredibly delicious dishes, each more appealing then the last. From appetizers and snacks—a particular Thai favorite—to desserts, each step-by-step recipe lists prep times (most within thirty minutes) and alternates for less accessible ingredients. Illustrated with mouthwatering color photographs, EVERYDAY THAI COOKING features more than 100 simple Thai recipes which include:

  • Crunchy Siam Spring Rolls
  • Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce
  • Sour Spicy Shrimp Soup (Tom Yum Goong)
  • Pad Thai
  • Crispy Mango Chicken

 

  • Shaking Beef
