Media Reviews
With the proliferation of foreign food shops these days it is easy to purchase what were once elusive ingredients. Even supermarkets stock items such as lime leaves, coconut milk, fresh chillies and noodles. Oriental cooking supremo, Ken Hom, takes the reader on a journey through Thai cooking, inviting you to experience the wondrous tastes of this exotic country using these now readily available foodstuffs. Traditional Far Eastern cooking utensils such as woks are commonplace and provide an easy method of cooking along with steamers, ensuring fast results after a busy day at work. Starters such as spicy prawn and lemon grass soup and Thai-style spring rolls are redolent of evenings out but are explained in such simple step-by-step instructions that they could be enjoyed at home on a regular basis. Red curry prawns, coconut mussels and Mussaman-style beef curry conjure up Far Eastern evenings and sultry nights. For those unsure of how to combine this wide variety of dishes, Ken Hom has included suggested menus for all manner of occasions: seafood lover's, summer dinner, vegetarian feast and more. Gloriously illustrated with the photographs of Jean Cazals, the instructions are both visual and written ensuring complete understanding. So next time you fancy a Thai meal, think again and prepare your own Far Eastern feast to eat in the comfort of your own home with dreams of your next holiday. - Lucy Watson
