Food of Northern Thailand is a beautiful deep dive into the regional cuisine of northern Thailand with a documentarian`s approach & a photographer`s eye. The food of northern Thailand is a world away from the highly refined, royal court- & Chinese-influenced style of cooking in Bangkok--the Thai food that most of us are familiar with. It`s a cuisine with its own distinct identity, one that is rustic & earthy, meaty & fragrant; one with roots in the Thai repertoire but with branches that extend into unfamiliar areas; a cuisine that feels ancient, but is ever evolving.A writer, photographer, & travel-guide writer, Austin Bush has lived in Thailand for nearly 20 years. In this book, Bush travels across northern Thailand to talk to the region`s home cooks, academics, restaurateurs, writers, & hawkers. Their recipes & stories, along with Bush`s photographs, capture the people, countryside, markets, & of course, dishes & cooking techniques of northern Thail&. Each of the chapters in the book will focus on a single province, giving a snapshot of the dishes, staple ingredients, cooking methods, & people specific to that area. ...

Standing apart from subjective discussions about taste, and debates around health and nutrition, this book clearly and concisely explains why the cheapest to the most expensive
