Forget Takeout, Make Thai Food at Home

The stunning complexity of Thai cuisine, studded at brief intervals with simple, elegant dishes, makes it one of the world’s most popular cuisines. Hot, sour, salty and sweet, the flavors of Thailand are truly addictive. Most of these recipes are easier than you’d think, but if you’re looking for an extra challenge, try making your own authentic Thai red or green curry paste.
