In its new series of recipe books, From the Source, global travel authority Lonely Planet presents the world’s most authentic dishes – direct from the kitchens where they were perfected. We have a copy of Lonely Planet’s From the Source: Thailand up for grabs this week.
The key to creating outstanding Thai food can be summed up in one word: balance. Whether it’s a creamy green curry, steaming soup neua or zingy som tam, all Thai dishes strive for that perfect balance of hot, sweet, sour and salty flavours, each one punchy without overpowering the others. But while this delicate interplay runs through the expansive range of the nation’s dishes, Thailand’s culinary heritage is remarkably localised. But what doesn’t vary, no matter which region you find yourself in, is the Thai people’s emotional connection to food. Wherever they’re found, the dishes shared in From the Source: Thailand signify history and heritage: a family recipe, created in the same way for generations, or a regional tradition, evolving with the twists and turns of geography and social history.
