Try our sample recipes from this book. This fully illustrated book is as much a treat to look at as it is to use. With colour photos and illustrated steps for every recipe, it's difficult to imagine serving something from Creative Cooking Thai that doesn't look and taste great. The dishes range from simple starters and blender drinks to more elaborate full course meals.
Most recipes are easy to follow and have only four or five steps.
The starters section has some great bite-sized treats that would be perfect for serving to guests over drinks. Imagine the splash that battered mussels, sesame toasts and chicken roasted in banana leaves would make at your next dinner party. There are quite a few recipes here that are suitable for a vegetarian but the same can't be said for those in search of low-fat fare. While there are many dishes with fish or vegetables as the main ingredients, sauces, batters and breading are also a key feature. Ginger, cilantro, curry, mango and chili are just a few of the staples used.
