Herbs and spices of Thailand

Made with fresh ingredients, Thai food is aromatic, tasty, healthy and full of interesting textures. These sumptuous aromas and tastes are largely the result of the herbs and spices used to flavour the dishes. Surprisingly, only thirty or so herbs and spices are used in Thai cooking; it is the ingenious combination or blending of these ingredients that makes Thai food so unique and flavoursome.

Ranging from the subtly fragrant gingers to the strongly aromatic basils, this book provides an excellent introduction to Thailand’s herbs and spices. A handful of recipes are also featured at the end of this book, to illustrate how the herbs and spices are used in delicious Thai fare.
