Tom Kha Soup

We love the exotic flavors of this fabulous Thai soup, spicy, a bit sweet and salty, creamy, with fresh lemongrass and galangal flavors, with a sumptuous umami taste. It’s easy to prepare and is crazy addictive with an intoxicating aroma.

Thai Lemongrass Meatballs

  With all the startlingly fresh and evocative flavors of the best Thai street foods, this festive tasty feast will easily feed a crowd, who are likely hovering around your incredibly aromatic kitchen.  Seared over flames, whether gas BBQ, charcoal or wood coals, or you own oven and broiler, these meatballs are literally packed with all the ingredients that make Thai food so irresistible… lemongrass, coconut, mint, fish sauce, lime, peanuts, cilantro, ginger and garlic… and rice noodles to soak up all that goodness.  They are umami bombs wrapped in crunchy lettuce.  Basically Bangkok in the backyard and your own wild savory kitchen.

Thai Red Curry Duck Breast with Pineapple Chunks and Cherry Tomatoes

This fabulous umami feast explodes with flavor because of the wildly contrasting tastes… the rich deep dark pink meat of the duck breast match perfectly with the spicy red curry, and the bright sweet taste of the pineapple and the tomatoes contrast wonderfully with the richness of the coconut cream and the umami fish sauce.  It’s also addictive, like the best meals from Thailand, with the amazing fresh flavors of the lemongrass, Kiffir lime leaves, Thai basil, mint and cilantro.
