New Thai Food

New Thai Food explores the incredible, vibrant flavours of Thai cuisine, celebrating its complex and balanced interplay of spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter elements. Author and chef Martin Boetz’s interpretive and distinct approach to Thai cooking first began under the mentorship of internationally acclaimed Thai expert David Thompson at Sydney’s Darley Street Thai. Here, Martin discovered a love and passion for the cuisine that would be the focus of his culinary career. As one of the founding owners and head chef of the influential Longrain restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne, Martin has long been regarded as a master of modern Thai food. New Thai Food is the culmination of Martin’s knowledge and passion for this unique cuisine. ‘When I first tasted Martin’s Thai cooking, a dazzling world of spicy flavour, texture and colour opened up.’ – RICK STEIN ‘Martin’s experience shows in his cooking, in his restaurants and now with his farm. This book is another sterling example of his remarkable and delicious talent.’ – DAVID THOMPSON ‘Marty’s tantalising repertoire reveals his passion and understanding for the Thai classics while emphasising his deep commitment to sensational seasonal produce. Definitely a book that compels you to explore from cover to cover.’ – CHRISTINE MANFIELD
