Does anybody have any good cookbooks/channels/blogs/whatever to get into cooking Asian food? I'm interested primarily in Thai food but also really intrigued by Chinese. Have cooked very few Thai or Chinese recipes and always liked them, looking to explore that world more.

If anybody has any tips, would be greatly appreciated!

For Thai, I really like David Thompson’s “Thai Food”. He has a bunch of Thai restaurants, including in Bangkok, and is generally renowned for his depth of knowledge and expertise on Thai cuisine. I wouldn’t look past him just because he isn’t Thai. He’s sort of what Diana Kennedy is to Mexican cuisine

I also really like Kasma Loha-Unchit’s “It Rains Fishes” and “Dancing Shrimp”. She also has a website with a bunch of her Thai recipes and food writing, if you want to get a sample of her style.

I don’t have any specific books on Chinese cooking, but I’ve found the Woks of Life website very approachable and of a high quality (well tested, well written, helpful comments, etc.)

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!
