Kin Thai: Modern Thai Recipes to Cook at Home

Product Information

Starting from our first takeaway in Great Barr, we built a loyal following with our freshly prepared, flavourful dishes. Thai classics include pad Thai; massaman curry; pad grapao neua (sir-fried beef with holy basil); and a killer recipe for grilled coriander and garlic chicken.

We saw this restaurant for long times on the market street and we’re so curious to try it, cause always fully booked when we tried to enter walking in.Next comes a section on ‘Regions of Thailand’, a richly detailed precis of the cuisine, food history and culinary traditions of Thailand’s Central, Northern, Northeastern and Southern regions.

I also liked that there were some recipes I haven't seen in other Thai cookbooks like Chiang mai herbal sausage and twists on existing classics like tom yum prawn using langoustines. I spoke to the manager when I found out, and she was clearly ready to die in a ditch over us not being able to seat any more people. Featuring Sous Chef favourites chosen by John himself, this cookbook helps you cook popular and lesser known Thai classics. John knows his stuff, just don't follow the recipes blindly as there's a few oversights hence my 4 star.

Chapters are structured by type of dish, from snacks and relishes to curries, stir-fries and salads, so you can easily find your favourites – from Roast Duck and Lychee Red Curry ( gaeng daeng bpet ) and Langoustine and Rhubarb Hot and Sour Soup ( dtom yum goong ) to Red Fire Greens with Yellow Soybean Sauce ( pak kheo fai daeng ) and Assorted Flavour One-bite Royal Snack ( miang kham ). g. tapas) restaurants to receive each dish as it comes, but this is not that - you will literally get two plates of spring rolls/dim sum alongside two large bowls of Pad Thai.
