Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Grilled pork skewers (Moo ping)

    • gemini_n56abk on January 02, 2026

      My go-to recipe for moo ping.

  • Stir-fried chicken with red curry paste (Pad prik khing gai)

    • IvyManning on December 15, 2021

      What are "red spur chilies"? The pantry section doesn't really describe them well or give a Thai name. It just says "substitute paprika," but that's not going to work for all the recipes that call for them in curry pastes! Asked at my local Thai grocery and they had no idea what these were. SO frustrating!

  • Yellow curry chicken (Gaeng garee gai)

    • Stephenn31 on February 02, 2026

      Great yellow curry. I cooked the potatoes in water as indicated, but they should have been par boiled in water and finished in the coconut sauce, because they didn't absorb enough flavour in the last 5 minutes in the curry.

  • Holy basil stir-fry (Pad gra prow)

    • Stephenn31 on July 12, 2024

      Excellent version. Very simple to pull together. I imagine would be quite spicy if I had all the right chilis (I did thank chili oil instead which did the trick).

    • katiesue28 on August 07, 2024

      This is my favorite version that I've cooked so far. Very fast and simple. I substituted a red jalapeno and a serrano for the chilies.

    • PriyaPath on March 28, 2026

      So so so good. Easy and absolutely tasty. Add an over easy fried egg on top.

  • Rice vermicelli in tomato pork bone soup (Nham ngeaw phrae)

    • alinutzamica on March 05, 2026

      Such an authentic taste and amazingly tasty!

  • Stir-fried flat rice noodles with Thai basil leaves (Pad khee mao)

    • meggan on January 21, 2022

      I think the sauce:noodle ratio was off. Way too much sauce for the amount of other ingredients. In the photo, the noodles are light colored and there appear to be enoki mushrooms added however the recipe turned out with the noodles quite dark.

    • Cookbookoligist on October 20, 2023

      I was confused about the quantity of peppercorns, the recipe said to add 4 peppercorns, but the photo shows at least four sprigs of peppercorns. I ended up using one sprig which seemed okay. I would definitely use less oil in the future, it turned out a bit greasy. I like the addition of lime leaves - the whole thing was very aromatic.

    • Stephenn31 on March 19, 2024

      There was probably twice as much sauce if you follow the ingredient list than is needed for the noodles. The photo seems to have enoki mushrooms, so I made it with a selection of mushrooms instead of the bamboo shoot and it was very good

  • Stir-fried mixed vegetables with glass noodles (Pad poew sain)

    • Stephenn31 on July 28, 2024

      Really good, and will make again. A good way to use up some odds and ends in the fridge too. Delicious, and nicely balanced.

  • Thai iced tea (Chan yen)

    • PriyaPath on March 28, 2026

      Perfect thai iced tea recipe. A must try!

Publishers Text

A journey through Northern Thailand in 120 authentic recipes with stunning location photography.

Award-winning chef, Nuit Regular, offers the distinct flavour of Northern Thai food in a stunning collection of authentic recipes, essays, and location photography. Inspired by the flavours and aromas of growing up in Northern Thailand, Nuit learned to cook in her mother's kitchen. Spending summers in an inspiring Northern Thai town with her grandmother, hunting with her dad, chasing snakes with her uncle, and cooking food with ingredients from the market or family garden, the cookbook is a reflection of Nuit's life in Thailand and her passion for cooking and sharing Thai cuisine with others.

Kiin, which means "eat" in Thai, transports readers to Northern Thailand on a journey to discover the ingredients, markets, and culture that inform all of the recipes. A Thai meal rarely has just one dish and you will have plenty of recipes to cook and share in traditional Thai-style--a table full of brightly coloured dishes that the whole family can pass around and enjoy. The recipes, including Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Rice Vermicelli with Fish Curry Soup, Red Pork on Rice, Northern Beef Curry, Green Mango Salad, and Mango Sticky Rice are a glimpse into the wonders of Northern Thai food.
