Hot Thai Kitchen: Demystifying Thai Cuisine with Authentic Recipes to Make at Home: A Cookbook By Pailin Chongchitnant

The definitive Thai cookbook from a YouTube star!

Growing up in Thailand, Pailin Chongchitnant spent her childhood with the kitchen as her playground. From a young age, she would linger by the stove, taking in the sight of snowy white coconut being shredded, the smell of lemongrass infused soups, and the sound of the pestle pounding against the granite mortar.
Years later, as a Cordon Bleueducated chef in San Francisco, Pailin vividly remembered the culinary experiences of her youth. And so, on YouTube, Hot Thai Kitchen was born. Combining her love of teaching with her devotion to Thai food, Pailin immediately connected with thousands of fans who wanted a friend and educator.
In this much anticipated cookbook, Pailin brings her signature warmth and impressive technique to Thai food lovers everywhere. She begins by taking readers on a beautifully photographed trip to Thailand to explore the culinary culture and building blocks central to Thai food. With foolproof and easy to follow instructions, Pailin breaks down the key ingredients, flavours, equipment, and techniques necessary to master authentic Thai cooking. Then, she shares her must make recipes for curries, soups, salads, and stir fries, including entire chapters on vegetarian and vegan dishes, dips and dipping sauces, and sumptuous Thai desserts. With QR codes to video tutorials placed throughout the book, youll be able to connect with Pailin online, too.
Both a definitive resource and an extraordinary exploration of Thai cuisine, Hot Thai Kitchen will delight and inspire you in your Thai cooking journey. Hot Thai Kitchen: Demystifying Thai Cuisine with Authentic Recipes to Make at Home: A Cookbook

I was really excited to finally receive my copy of Pailin's book. It's been on pre order for months and I've long been a fan of her amazing cooking videos for awhile, so today was truly a great day when it finally arrived. What I was really pleased with to see English I've read and used many cookbooks. This lady has organized, explained and elevated the art of cooking Thai food to a level I have never thought possible. She is a wonder. 0449017052 This book is a MUST for anyone who is seriously interested in learning and cooking Thai food at home. I can tell that a considerable amount of time went in to create the contents. I am not sure how could the author sell this book on for under $17 and make a profit. 978-0449017050

Love this Thai cookbook so much because I watched the author on YouTube and she was so fun and charming! Have purchased 5 additional books for family members so they can enjoy as much as we do! 0449017052 At first I was a bit disappointed when I saw that this book has instructions and theory than recipes, but the author states that up front and says knowing the how and why is important than just following a recipe and she's completely right. Especially for adolescence Arrived quickly and well packed. The first part of the book is a tutorial of Thai culture and cooking techniques, which while it reduces the number of recipes available is both interesting and maybe even critical to touching the soul of Thai cuisine. Overall, money well 264 pages I’m a fan of the YouTube channel and was looking forward to lots of Thai recipes. Alas, the first half of the book is a treatise on Thai cuisine, tools, methods, regions, etc. All very interesting; but I wanted recipes. For example, there are no recipes for grilled 264 pages This was one of the prettiest cookbooks I’ve ever bought. 978-0449017050
