Thai cookbook: 'Thai food' by David Thompson


If you like Thai food and want to cook Thai food for yourself.
Today I had the thai cookbook was presented to you.
This is the famous thai cookbook and have been very popular.
Written by foreigners who love Thai food so much David Thompson.


Another advantage for this cookbook is written by foreigners for foreigners.
So he knows that some ingredients are only in Thai. But he can use ingredients that are similar in other countries to cook.







 Renowned chef David Thompson first went to Thailand by mistake: a holiday plan had to be changed at the last minute, and he ended up in Bangkok, where he was seduced by the people, culture, and cuisine. Since that fateful trip some 20 years ago, Thailand has become David's second home. Working alongside cooks who perfected their craft in the Thai royal palaces, he began to document the traditional recipes and culinary techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation. The result is THAI FOOD, the most comprehensive account of this ancient and exotic cuisine ever published in English. David writes about Thailand and its food with an easy erudition, encouraging readers to cook and experiment, while simultaneously fostering a respect for the food and its stewardship through the ages. Although all the classic, well-loved recipes are here, this magnum opus features hundreds of lesser-known but equally authentic and delicious Thai dishes that will inspire cooks to go beyond green curry chicken and Thai fish cakes. David's passion and conviction are infectious; complemented by Earl Carter's superb photography, THAI FOOD captures all aspects of the dynamic Thai culture and cuisine.• Ten years in the making, this groundbreaking work is one of the cookbook publishing events of the decade.• The author's London restaurant, nahm, received a Michelin star in 2002, making it the first Thai restaurant to receive such an honor.• Photographed at David's restaurants in Sydney and London, and on location in Thailand, Earl Carter's superb images capture both the essence of Thai food and its rich cultural milieu.  Awards2003 James Beard Award Winner2003 IACP Award WinnerReviews“Stands out, dauntingly massive, brilliantly magisterial, and, at the same time, bustling with charm, observations, life.” —Saveur “[S]et a new standard for Asian cookbooks.”—Saveur (Top 100 Home Cook Edition)

Clear soup with tube tofu and minced pork


My wife and I live in the apartment. I was often tired or lazy to go downstairs to buy food.
I tend to buy pork and vegetables stored in the refrigerator.
Sometimes when I was open the refrigerator to find something for cooking. I have no idea how to cook anything, what I would have realized is Clear soup. So the clear soup is the food I cook quite often.
As I have said that the only ingredients are pork, vegetables, spices that are already in the kitchen. You can easily cook this menu.

And the menu for today is Clear soup with tube tofu and minced pork. The recommended dosage is for two people (me and my wife) if your family is a large family and there are many people, you can increase ingredients as needed.
You do not have to worry that it will not meet the recipe. I would say that this menu is tasty or not tasty. It was in the seasoning with spices.

Ingredients


200 g minced pork
200 g of Chinese cabbage
Tube tofu
4-5 garlic cloves
