His parents, Thai and Burmese immigrants, first opened Nashville’s International Market \u0026amp; Restaurant in 1975—a rarity in Tennessee, where Asian cuisine hadn’t quite expanded beyond Americanised Chinese takeout. The Myints were determined to introduce Americans to the fiery, bold, and fragrant Thai flavours that had always brought them comfort, and it turned out that a taste of Thailand was exactly what Nashville needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost 45 years later, after attending culinary school in New York City and working with Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Arnold now owns and runs International Market, where he continues to serve the comforting, soul-feeding recipes of his mother, while also jazzing things up with his own Thai-Southern flair. During the pandemic, Arnold began reaching out to an all-new audience through Instagram, teaching “Thai 101” basics to an ever-growing number of viewers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow Arnold—who also happens to be a fabulous drag queen under the alter ego Suzy Wong—is expanding his teaching on the food of Thailand to a vibrantly illustrated and designed cookbook. In \u003cem\u003eFamily Thai\u003c\/em\u003e, Arnold breaks down an often-intimidating cuisine into accessible building blocks for every home cook, beginning with pantry staples—what’s fish sauce? What are the differences between soy sauces?—and moving on to teaching readers essential skills like how to steam the perfect sticky rice or how to make their own noodles if they can’t find them stocked nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArnold also shares what he likes to cook at home and adaptations of Thai cuisine that have been inspired by his hometown of Nashville and his travels around the world. From there, he takes us into the vibrant and colourful world of Thai street food—including shumai, shrimp toast, curry puffs, and more—classic noodle dishes, his own original creations, and, of course, his mother’s classic recipes. Longtime fans of International Market, who have been begging for their favourite classic recipes for years, will find them among these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Thais greet each other, they don’t ask \u003cem\u003ehow are you\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003ewhat’s up?\u003c\/em\u003e Instead, they ask, \u003cem\u003eKin lao yang?\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003ehave you eaten?\u003c\/em\u003e Feeding people is how Patti and Win Myint—and now Arnold—show their love, not just for their family but for everyone within reach. In \u003cem\u003eFamily Thai\u003c\/em\u003e, Arnold shares his boldly flavourful food and welcoming, heartfelt approach with home cooks everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998073737452,"sku":"9781419776380","price":74.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13531333482693.jpg?v=1763207462"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/arnold-myint.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
