I had no idea what this week’s challenge meant. Mixed as in fusion? The only thing that I was adamant was on the cookbook that I would use. I love Thai flavours and find it really hard to find seriously good Thai food in Melbourne. I guess my numerous trips to Thailand did not help the cause. The Thai food here is either too sweet or not spicy enough or just no flavour. Disappointing.
I can’t remember when I bought this cookbook. It’s The cook’s encyclopedia of Thai cooking by Judy Bastyra. The recipes in this book is easy to follow and it starts with an introduction of history of Thai street food, Thai spices, produce, condiments and basic cooking techniques.
