The Food of Northern Thailand

Food of Northern Thailand is a beautiful deep dive into the regional cuisine of northern Thailand with a documentarian`s approach and a photographer`s eye.The food of northern Thailand is a world away from the highly refined, royal court- and 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 and earthy, meaty and 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, and 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, and hawkers. Their recipes and stories, along with Bush`s photographs, capture the people, countryside, markets, and of course, dishes and cooking techniques of northern Thailand. Each of the chapters in the book will focus on a single province, giving a snapshot of the dishes, staple ingredients, cooking methods, and people specific to that area.
