Download or read book Hawker Fare written by James Syhabout and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From chef James Syhabout of two–Michelin-star restaurant Commis, an Asian-American cookbook like no other—simple recipes for cooking home-style Thai and Lao dishes James Syhabout’s hugely popular Hawker Fare restaurant in San Francisco is the product of his unique family history and diverse career experience. Born into two distinct but related Asian cultures—from his mother’s ancestral village in Isan, Thailand’s northeast region, and his father’s home in Pakse, Laos—he and his family landed in Oakland in 1981 in a community of other refugees from the Vietnam War. Syhabout at first turned away from the food of his heritage to work in Europe and become a classically trained chef. After the success of Commis, his fine dining restaurant and the only Michelin-starred eatery in Oakland, Syhabout realized something was missing—and that something was Hawker Fare, and cooking the food of his childhood. The Hawker Fare cookbook immortalizes these widely beloved dishes, which are inspired by the open-air “hawker” markets of Thailand and Laos as well as the fine-dining sensibilities of James’s career beginnings. Each chapter opens with stories from Syhabout’s roving career, starting with his mother’s work as a line cook in Oakland, and moving into the turning point of his culinary life, including his travels as an adult in his parents’ homelands. From building a pantry with sauces and oils, to making staples like sticky rice and padaek, to Syhabout’s recipe for instant ramen noodles with poached egg, Hawker Fare explores the many dimensions of this singular chef’s cooking and ethos on ingredients, family, and eating well. This cookbook offers a new definition of what it means to be making food in America, in the full and vibrant colors of Thailand, Laos, and California.

Download or read book Laos Travel Guide written by Daniel Windsor and published by Interactive Media Licensing. This book was released on 2024-10-25 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laos is a land steeped in a rich cultural heritage, nestled in the heart of Southeast Asia. Often considered a hidden gem, this landlocked country is bordered by Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and China. For centuries, Laos has remained relatively untouched by the rapid development seen in many of its neighboring countries. Today, it still retains much of its ancient charm, with traditional customs, a serene lifestyle, and an awe-inspiring natural landscape. The country is known for its lush forests, stunning mountain ranges, tranquil rivers, and unique biodiversity. For adventurers and cultural enthusiasts alike, Laos presents a travel destination that blends scenic beauty with deep-rooted traditions. The Mekong River, often referred to as the lifeblood of the nation, flows through the country, supporting local economies and providing sustenance to countless communities. In this eBook, we will explore Laos from multiple angles. Each chapter delves into different aspects of this fascinating country—from its history and cultural significance to practical advice on traveling, accommodations, and dining. Whether you're planning to visit Laos or simply want to understand more about it, this guide serves as a comprehensive resource to uncover the secrets of this Southeast Asian paradise. Laos, while often overshadowed by its neighbors, has so much to offer those willing to look beyond the more typical tourist destinations. It's a country that charms visitors not with flashy attractions or luxury resorts but with its authenticity, history, and natural wonders. The capital city, Vientiane, may be a quiet capital compared to others in the region, but it offers a glimpse into Laos's slower pace of life, where even the modern world moves in harmony with ancient Buddhist traditions. We will also explore how Laos, though having faced many challenges throughout its history, has continued to uphold its cultural identity. Whether it's the nation's deeply spiritual connection with Buddhism or the strong ties within its rural communities, Laos's social fabric remains strong despite external pressures. The country's many temples, particularly the famous Pha That Luang, embody the country's religious devotion and architectural brilliance. Meanwhile, regions like Luang Prabang showcase a blend of Laotian and colonial French influences, making it a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major attraction for those interested in both architecture and history. This guide is designed to be more than just a travel companion. It aims to provide an understanding of Laos as a living, breathing country that thrives on its customs, relationships with nature, and sense of community. The chapters that follow will provide a detailed account of every aspect of Laos, from practical advice on accommodation and dining to explorations of its parks, museums, and nightlife.
