Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Curry Guy aka Dan Toombs is back, and this time he is taking on Thai takeaway and restaurant favourites.

Dan has spent over two decades working with chefs and eateries to research and create recipes that taste just like the takeaway. Thai cuisine is known for its light dishes that are packed with diverse flavours and textures, and which make the most of a fine balance of sour, sweet and salt. In The Curry Guy Thai, Dan offers up his own versions of those much-loved dishes, including beef massaman curry, red duck curry, pad Thai, fishcakes and summer rolls.

With over 100 recipes, beautiful colour photography throughout, plus store cupboard tips and advice, you'll learn how to create your own classic dishes at home.

Reviewers appreciate its clear instructions and vibrant photography, which inspire cooks to explore diverse recipes from Thai cuisine. However, some mention that ingredient sourcing might be challenging for certain readers. Overall, the book is well-regarded for bringing Thai flavours to home kitchens.

About the Author

Dan Toombs (aka The Curry Guy) has perfected the art of the restaurant curry. After over 20 years of travelling around, sampling dishes, learning secrets from restaurant chefs and refining those recipes at home, Dan has created recipes that taste just like a takeaway but in less time and for less money. Dan's first book, The Curry Guy (2017), was a bestseller; this is his sixth book following Curry Guy Easy (2018), Curry Guy Veggie (2019), Curry Guy Light and Curry Guy Bible (2020). He lives in Yorkshire with his curry-loving family.
