Sanyee's Kitchen: Authentic Thai Home Cooking

Sanyee’s Kitchen: Authentic Thai Home Cooking



When Mai Sanyee was a little girl, her job in her mother’s kitchen was the mortar and pestle. Too small to reach the wok, she pounded garlic and chilies until her arms were tired. “Listen to it,” her mother said. “When the sound changes, the paste is ready.”

This book is that kitchen. Not restaurant food. Not fusion. The curries the family made on Sundays when everyone came over, the soups for tired evenings, the quick stir-fries on a busy night. Ninety-five pages of the dishes Thai families actually eat at home, written out properly for your kitchen — with full swap lists so one missing ingredient never stops you from cooking.

What’s inside:

• Curries, soups, stir-fries, rice and noodle dishes, and sweets
• Four curry pastes from scratch, with food processor shortcuts
• A full Thai pantry guide with swaps for hard-to-find ingredients
• Family menu suggestions and a Thai glossary so you can read any menu
• Mai’s notes on every recipe, the way her mother would have told you
