Thai

Jacki Passmore travelled extensively from her former home in Hong Kong to study the cuisines of Asia, and has written more than 20 books, including Asia the Beautiful Cookbook and The Encyclopaedia of Asian Food and Cooking.

She continues her career as a food writer in Brisbane, Australia, where she runs her cooking school. Here she has chosen 10 recipes that encapsulate the cuisine of Thailand, with flavours as vivid and exciting as the country itself.

“Thai food is hot. It’s often pungent. But it’s never, never dull!”
