The Food of Northern Thailand by Austin Bush

The Food of Northern Thailand by Austin Bush

JAMES BEARD AWARD FINALIST * Welcome to a beautiful, deep dive into the cuisine and culture of northern Thailand with a documentarian's approach, a photographer's eye, and a cook's appetite. 

Known for its herbal flavors, rustic dishes, fiery dips, and comforting noodles, the food of northern Thailand is both ancient and ever evolving. Travel province by province, village by village, and home by home to meet chefs, vendors, professors, and home cooks as they share their recipes for Muslim-style khao soi, a mild coconut beef curry with boiled and crispy fried noodles, or spiced fish steamed in banana leaves to an almost custard-like texture, or the intense, numbingly spiced meat "salads" called laap. 

Featuring many recipes never before described in English and snapshots into the historic and cultural forces that have shaped this region's glorious cuisine, this journey may redefine what we think of when we think of Thai food.

Since 1999, Austin Bush has resided in Thailand. He is fluent in Thai, speaks, reads, and writes it fluently, and has written extensively about Thai cuisine. In Saveur magazine's Best Food Blogs awards, his site was a finalist. He has photographed the New York Times bestseller Pok Pok and its follow-up, The Drinking Cuisine of Thailand, alongside Andy Ricker.
