It's hard to imagine a more knowledgeable and inspiring guide to the vibrant world of Thai street food than internationally renowned chef and Thai food expert David Thompson. Join him on a whirlwind tour of the curry shops and stir-fry stalls of Thailand: afloat on the canals of Bangkok, on the streets and in the markets - then try your hand at cooking the fast, fresh and irresistible food that sustains a nation.With Earl Carter's photo essays of Thai street life and exquisite food photography, Thai Street Food so effectively captures the atmosphere of Thailand's streets and markets it's as if you were there.

The structure follows the sweep of time as day slips into night, and follows the key times when the Thai people flock onto the streets to eat their food - from Kanom jin Noodles with Fish and Wild Ginger Sauce at noon to delicious Sweet Roast Pork in the late evening.

Full of passion and flavour, Thai Street Food is a mixture of wonderful atmospheric street photography and simply delicious recipes. Epic and comprehensive in its scope, this is a landmark publication from the western world's leading authority on Thai food.
