Tommy Tangs Modern Thai Cuisine or Cakes and Cake Decorating

Tommy Tang's Modern Thai Cuisine

Author: Tommy Tang

About the Author:
Tommy Tang, chef and restaurateur, was born in Bangkok and moved to the United States in 1972. Ten years later, he opened the original Tommy Tang's in West Hollywood, California. With the opening of a second restaurant in New York's Tribeca area in 1986, Tommy became America's first bicoastal chef. Tommy's signature line of spices and seasonings is available in stores throughout the United States and Canada. Tommy also shares his expertise on his PBS cooking show.

Here are recipes from the chef/owner of trendy Thai restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. Tang's cuisine mixes elements of the East and West, as in Crab Spring Rolls with Santa Fe Chili Sauce. His food is innovative and appealing, but it's somewhat irritating that a number of the dishes require Tang's commercially available seasoning mix or marinade. Still, Tang--and Thai cuisine--have many fans, and there are some delicious dishes here. For larger collections. BOMC and Better Homes & Gardens selection.
