Sarah Beattie, author of the 30-Minute Vegetarian Mexican Cookbook, adds another title to this exciting cooking series from Ecco. In this latest volume, Beattie introduces us to the sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors of Thai cooking. Thai food has never been so simple! Using ingredients such as hot chilies, cooling coconut, zesty lime, piquant ginger, and fragrant lemongrass, Beattie offers tasty Thai dishes that are simple enough for the busy everyday chef and all ready to serve in 30 minutes or less.

Beattie provides a pantry checklist and tips on how to present your dishes with authentic Thai finesse. Learn how to make chili flowers, scallion frills, and deep-fried basil leaves. Over 100 recipes cover every part of the meal including soups, salads, curries, rice and noodle dishes, beancurd, egg and fritter entrees, stir-fries, sauces, desserts, drinks, and even snacks. Try traditional Thai dishes such as Het Fang Ping, Vegetable Stir-Fry with Tamarind and Peanut Sauce, and Spring Rolls, as well as innovative dishes for the not-so-timid palate: Yellow Bean and Sweet Potato Stir-Fry, Braised Leeks with Ginger and Cashews, and Mussaman Curry.
