The 7 Latest Thailand Book Releases
1. Curry Guy Thai
Published April 2022: “In The Curry Guy Thai, Dan [Toombs] offers up his own versions of those much-loved dishes, including beef massaman curry, red duck curry, pad Thai, fishcakes and summer rolls. With over over 100 recipes, beautiful color photography throughout, plus store cupboard tips and advice, you’ll learn how to create your own classic dishes at home” – Amazon.
2. Thailand’s Best Street Food
Published May 2022: I originally wrote a review of Thailand’s Best Street Food in 2015 when the first edition was published.

I can say with certainty that fact-checking a travel guide as we tiptoe out of covid times is a giant job (please send coffee) – this book is a gem and its update offers you 11 new street stall recommendations.
3. The Nutmeg Trail
Published May 2022: “Eleanor Ford is a cook and a historian, a culinary detective, and, as she says, a gastronomic archaeologist. What a deep dive this is into the world of spice. It’s a deep dive, a culinary history, a spice library, anatomy, and miscellany. And then the recipes! Recipes which allow the reader to travel from Asia to the Middle East along the spice route, taking in so much flavor and so much context on the way. It’s the green coconut hot sauce from Somalia first up for me, followed by the green peppercorn asparagus from Thailand.” —Yotam Ottolenghi. Read More…
