Publishers Text

In Foolproof Thai Cookery, Ken Hom demystifies this delicious and popular cuisine. Ken describes the basic techniques needed to recreate authentic Thai food and demonstrates 40 of the most well-known dishes with step-by-step instructions and photographs to accompany every stage from start to finish. Ken's recipes appeal to the experienced cook and the novice alike - all are quick and easy to prepare and use readily available ingredients - lemon grass, ginger and, of course, small Thai chillies. Ken's foolproof instructions will guarantee excellent results every time - whether you choose simple Pad Thai noodles, a Sour and Spicy Prawn Soup or the more elaborate Red Duck Curry. As a culinary professor, Ken realised that it was only when he demonstrated techniques to his students that they really understood them and could go on to do them with confidence. Ken developed a step-by-step approach which became the basis of his teaching and which he also used extensively as a broadcaster. This approach forms the backbone of the recipes in Foolproof Thai Cookery and also Ken's previous title, Foolproof Chinese Cookery.
