Since that fateful trip some 20 years ago  Thailand has become Davids 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. Davids passion and conviction are infectious; complemented by Earl Carters 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 authors London restaurant  nahm  received a Michelin star in 2002  making it the first Thai restaurant to receive such an honor.   Photographed at Davids restaurants in Sydney and London  and on location in Thailand  Earl Carters superb images capture both the essence of Thai food and its rich cultural milieu.
