Details: Product Description In Everyday Thai Cooking, Katie Chin—a chef hailed as the 'Asian Rachel Ray' by her many fans—shares her recipe secrets along with tips, tools, and techniques that enable you to bring delectable homemade Thai dishes to your table effortlessly! As the daughter of award-winning restaurateur Leeann Chin, Katie's heritage has been deeply rooted in the cultivation of fine Thai cuisine. Katie has since taken the culinary world by storm as a well-respected food writer, television personality, and now published author. Katie is a leader among the cooking community. However, her real reward stems from her success at home. As a working mother of toddler twins, Katie realized a need for simple, easy and delicious Thai recipes that call for convenient ingredients and Everyday Thai Cooking delivers just that. This Thai cookbook offers basic recipes for staple dishes that include both homemade and store-bought options. From appetizers to desserts, each step-by-step recipe lists preparation times (most within thirty minutes) and alternates for less accessible ingredients. Illustrated with mouthwatering color photographs, Everyday Thai Cooking features more than 100 simple recipes for delicious Thai food. Favorite Thai recipes include: Crunchy Siam Spring Rolls Tom Yum Goong Crispy Mango Chicken Shaking Beef Fragrant Coconut Fish in Banana Leaves Mee Krob From Booklist *Starred Review* Chin’s latest collection (a previous one was 300 Best Rice Cooker Recipes, 2011) is filled with enthusiasm and energy—and, what’s probably more important, it includes nearly 100 recipes with exotic ingredients that are fairly accessible. If there is such a thing as a chip off the old (cooking) block, Chin qualifies, as the daughter of the late Leeann Chin (founder of her namesake restaurant chain). Those unfamiliar with the peculiarities of Asian dishes will appreciate the upfront advice, including preparing lemongrass and Thai chilies (for the latter, carefully and with latex surgical gloves), steaming, deep-frying, and knowing the secret to fluffy rice. Says she, “I love my rice cooker like I love my dog. It’s obedient, doesn’t talk back, and loves me unconditionally.” Recipes are categorized from appetizers to desserts and subclassified by different kinds of proteins. Both favorites and unique tastes are well represented, including pad Thai, chicken coconut soup, Thai BBQ pork, crying tiger lamb, coconut cake with mango, and Thai iced tea. The directions are easy to follow, and there are great color photographs. It’s no wonder Chin has been called the Asian Rachael Ray. --Barbara Jacobs Review "The pictures in this book are unbelievable!
