80 stir-fried-saucy, sweet-and-tangy mostly Thai-ish recipes from the mom who taught Chrissy (almost) everything she knows, Pepper Teigen!
Whether
she’s frying up a batch of her crispy-garlicky wings for John’s
football Sundays or making Chrissy her favorite afternoon snack—instant
ramen noodles with ground pork, cabbage, scallions, and cilantro—Pepper
Teigen loves feeding her famously fabulous family. Through these eighty
recipes, Pepper teaches you how to make all her hits. You’ll find
playful twists on Thai classics, such as Fried Chicken Larb, which is
all crunch with lots of lime, chile, and fish sauce, and Pad Thai
Brussels Sprouts, which bring the fun tastes and textures of pad thai to
a healthy sheet of pan-roasted vegetables. And there are the
traditional dishes Pepper grew up with, like khao tod crispy rice salad
and tom zapp hot and sour soup.
Pepper shares stories about her
life, too, such as how she used to sell sweet-savory kanom krok
coconut-and-corn pancakes to commuters when she was ten years old in
Thailand (now she makes them with her granddaughter, Luna, as a treat)
and how, once she moved to the United States, she would cobble together
tastes of home with ingredients she could find in her new homeland, like
turning shredded cabbage and carrots into a mock-papaya salad.
Influenced by Thailand, California, and everywhere in between, Pepper’s
mouthwatering recipes and sharp sense of humor will satisfy anyone
craving a taste of something sensational, whether that’s a peek into
America’s most-talked- about family’s kitchen or a rich and spicy
spoonful of Massaman Beef Curry.
