"Make Terrific Thai Food at Home"

Foxfire Gallery & Kitchen Shops

A favorite dine-out cuisine, Thai food is within reach of any home cook with a little bit of culinary curiosity. A fusion of historical influences, Thai food is distinctive and rich in flavor by design. Balancing spicy, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter harmoniously is a hallmark of Thai cuisine.

IN THIS ISSUE, we expand the Asian side of our kitchen with a try at Thai food using Quick & Easy Thai by Nancie McDermott as our guide. Key ingredients are explained, indispensable tools defined, and recipes shared. Like us, we think you'll realize success the first time around.

Quick & Easy Thai, 70 Everyday Recipes by Nancie McDermott. Photographs by Alison Miksch. Copyright © 2004. Published by Chronicle Books, San Francisco, CA.

Cookbook

This cookbook is the perfect introduction to Thai

cooking for the novice and contains plenty of inspiration for your skills as they grow. Many ethnic cuisine cookbooks quickly become confusing and daunting to the Western cook. This is not the case here. Ms. McDermott gained her training in Thai cooking first-hand as a Peace Corp volunteer in Thailand. In this, her second Thai cookbook, the recipes are intended for everyday use. The presentation simplifies the dishes, but without compromise. The book is organized by Appetizers, Soups, Curries, Chicken, Meats, Seafood, Rice & Noodles, Vegetables, Sweets & Drinks. We are further enabled with a section on Menus for Thai meals, tools for cooking Thai, various preparation techniques, and setting up a Thai pantry. The directions were instructive and led us to first time success with each of the recipes we tried. We can't wait to try more!
