In 2005 he opened Pok  Pok, so named for the sound a pestle makes when it strikes a clay  mortar, in an old shack in a residential neighborhood of Portland,  Oregon. Ricker's traditional take on Thai food soon drew the notice of  the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGourmet \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, establishing him  as a culinary star. Now, with his first cookbook, Ricker tackles head-on  the myths that keep people from making Thai food at home: that it's too  spicy for the American palate or too difficult to source ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRicker shares more than fifty of the most popular recipes from Thailand and his Pok Pok restaurants—ranging from Khao Soi Kai (Northern Thai curry noodle soup with chicken) to Som Tam Thai (Central Thai–style papaya salad) to Pok Pok’s now-classic (and obsessed-over) Fish-Sauce Wings. But \u003ci\u003ePok Pok \u003c\/i\u003eis more than just a collection of favorite recipes: it is also a master course in Thai cooking from one of the most passionate and knowledgeable authorities on the subject. Clearly written, impeccably tested recipes teach you how to source ingredients; master fundamental Thai cooking techniques and skills; understand flavor profiles that are unique to Southeast Asian cuisine; and combine various dishes to create show-stopping, well-balanced meals for family and friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Filled with thoughtful, colorful essays about Ricker’s travels and experiences, \u003ci\u003ePok Pok \u003c\/i\u003eis not only a definitive resource for home cooks, but also a celebration of the rich history, vibrant culture, and unparalleled deliciousness of Thai food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50968996020512,"sku":"9781607742883","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781607742883.jpg?v=1764120293","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/pok-pok","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
