Now Vatcharin Bhumichitr, proprietor of London's famous Chiang Mai restaurant, uses the essential ingredients themselves as the starting point for over 150 new recipes. Escorted through Thailand's four main regions, we discover the rice and noodles of Bangkok with their soy, fish, and bean sauces; the fiery dishes of the mountainous north, known for its garlic and chilies; the citrus flavors of the northeastern region: lemon grass, kaffir limes, and tamarind; and finally, in the south, the natural sweetness of fruits, palm sugar, and coconut. Filled with color images, this is both a superb cookbook and a marvelous culinary tour.
