NEW: Hot Thai Kitchen 10th Anniversary Edition
Comprehensive, foundational, extraordinary.
This 10th anniversary edition of the internationally bestselling and award-winning Hot Thai Kitchen is the definitive guide to understanding Thai food—with 75 delicious recipes to cook at home.
In 2016, Pailin Chongchitnant published her debut cookbook, Hot Thai Kitchen, and it became a classic kitchen staple for home cooks across the globe. Now, in this celebratory and updated 10th anniversary edition, Pai brings her signature warmth and impressive technique to Thai food fans everywhere. Combining her love of teaching with her devotion to Thai food, in Hot Thai Kitchen Pai shows readers how easy Thai home cooking can be, while grounding her recipes in their cultural context. From the culture of eating and commonly used ingredients to flavour combinations and putting together an authentic Thai meal, Pai is here to guide you.
Inside, you’ll find:
- The recipes you know and love from the first edition: Whether it’s curries, soups, salads, stir-fries, or desserts, all your favourites are included, many with QR codes that take you to Pai’s website with video tutorials that walk you through the recipe step by step.
- Updated information on Thai ingredients to make shopping a breeze.
- More streamlined techniques in recipes to make Thai cooking even more approachable.
- A brand-new chapter: House Specials is a chapter of 8 new recipes that are longtime fan favourites or under-the-radar gems from Pai’s youth.
- A new foreword from J. Kenji López-Alt: Hear from a trusted chef colleague and friend, and dive into a new introduction from Pai, looking back on all that she’s learned.
Both a definitive resource and an extraordinary exploration of Thai cuisine, Hot Thai Kitchen: The 10th Anniversary Edition is a celebration of Pai’s best recipes, to delight and inspire you in your Thai cooking journey.
From the Foreword by J. KENJI LÓPEZ-ALT:
“This book transcends recipes; it teaches the essence of Thai food through its focus on ingredients, techniques, and the cultural philosophy behind the cuisine. By analyzing the nuts and bolts of the food—the structure of a curry, a salad, a soup, or a stir-fry—Pai empowers us to cook, adapt, and create with confidence. With a practical but rigorous approach to tools and ingredients, Pai guides us to create delicious, achievable dishes, bridging the gap between aspirations and reality, between craving and creation.”
