A few nights ago my Honey really wanted some Tom Kha Gai soup. So he started procuring some of the ingredients. Thai cooking is rather complicated it turns out. So we ended up in a Thai restaurant for the soup, which was delicious. The mixture of spicy flavors with sour flavors was quite intriguing to me. I was shelving some books in the junior section and one was on Thai cuisine which I checked out. I later found 5 or 6 more books in the adult section, but they are more complicated although the explanations of the sauces was more complete. I've decided we will go back to the Asian market and procure more of the necessary basic ingredients and try some recipes out at home.
A website directory for recipes I've found most helpful is www.foodieview.com
Actually its a recipe search engine. Instead of going to all your favorite recipe sites and searching them one by one, you can just use this search service by dish name, ingredient, cuisine, or chef. The recipe search results are sorted both by relevance and user rating, which makes it really easy to see the promising recipes.
So I will let you know how our foray in Thai cookery turns out.
