A Picture's Worth...


Well, it's not exactly a food blog, but they do add new content on occasionally: Aharn Thai does, however, have something that makes it very valuable: videos. I'm the type of cook who would rather see something done once in person by an expert than read a supremely detailed recipe guide.

Granted, videos of people cooking all manner of things are pretty easy to find these days on Youtube and the like, videos of cooking in its unmanicured, unmeasured, natural human habitat are less so.

My only advice would be to make sure that the quality of your meat, especially pork, as it's used extensively in Thai cooking, is up to par: that means either organic or, at the least, something not treated with hormones/antibiotics, known as "naturally raised." Why? Ming Tsai says so (at least his recipes do). Just read this horrifying account of the American hog industry if you're still iffy.
