Book Description

May 15, 2007
Modern Thai Food is a collection of 100 favorite recipes from the acclaimed Martin Boetz, head chef of the Longrain restaurants in Australia. Recreated and streamlined for the home cook, this is a sumptuous collection of Thai-inspired recipes for the modern kitchen. Revel in the flavors found in recipes such as Grilled Scallops with Peanut Nahm Jim, Grilled Cuttlefish & Pomelo Salad and Light Red Curry of Beef, along with lighter, fresher interpretations of such Thai classics as hot and sour soup, red and green curries, fish cakes and salads.

With a selection of cocktail recipes from the Longrain bar, a comprehensive illustrated glossary, and help matching wines to unfamiliar foods, Modern Thai Food is an excellent companion for any cook interested in expanding their culinary horizons.

Praise for Martin Boetz and his Longrain restaurants:

"Chef Martin Boetz raised this restaurant to become a leader of Sydney's Thais with an enthusiasm that's matched by his intimate knowledge of ingredients."--Fodors

Named on Australia's "Five Rising Stars" by Food and Wine

5.0 out of 5 stars A top pick for any who already cook Thai cuisine and seek new directions, December 4, 2007
This review is from: Modern Thai Food: 100 Simple and Delicious Recipes from Sydney's Famous Longrain Restaurant (Hardcover)
MODERN THAI FOOD gathers innovative Thai dishes from Sydney's Longrain Restaurant and the creations of Chef Martin Boetz, who provides 100 of his favorite dishes adjusted for home cooks. From a Crisp Roast Duck and Lychee Salad and a Stir-Fried Squid with Light Curry Sauce to Smoked Trout Salad with Sweet Thai Dressing, this packs in many recipes created by chef Boetz, not to be found in any competing Thai cookbooks, and is a top pick for any who already cook Thai cuisine and seek new directions, especially for lending libraries strong in ethnic cuisines.

This review is from: Modern Thai Food: 100 Simple and Delicious Recipes from Sydney's Famous Longrain Restaurant (Hardcover)
Nice clean copy of a used book. Varied recipes give a taste of Thai. Some ingredients may be hard to find. Gives instructions for making basic sauces which is helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phantastic!, November 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Thai Food: 100 Simple and Delicious Recipes from Sydney's Famous Longrain Restaurant (Hardcover)
Nothing essential to add to the other positive comments. This is much more than a cookbook - you have to look at it as an opus about Thai history and culture too. Recipes are elaborate and ingridients sometimes hard to get - but the results pay off! A must-have for Thai fans.
