We're excited to join author Arnold Myint and The Book Larder for a special dinner celebrating Arnold's new cookbook, Family Thai: Bringing the Flavors of Thailand Home! Each ticket comes with a signed copy of Family Thai, and a four-course meal curated by the chefs of Hatch Cantina, inspired by recipes from the book along with Hatch's food of the American Southwest. We'll see you there!
Menu includes:
- "Scallop" Crudo
- Elote with red curry butter
- Bacon krapao taco- a traditional Thai holy basil dish meets the Southwest
- Khanom Ruam Mitt- chilled fruit cocktail in coconut soup
About the book: In Family Thai, Arnold breaks down an often-intimidating cuisine into accessible building blocks for every home cook, beginning with pantry staples—what’s fish sauce? what are the differences between soy sauces?—and moves on to teaching readers skills like how to steam the perfect sticky rice or how to make their own noodles.
Arnold also shares what he likes to cook at home and adaptations of Thai cuisine that have been inspired by his hometown of Nashville and his travels around the world. From there, he takes us into the vibrant and colorful world of Thai street food—including shumai, shrimp toast, curry puffs, and more—classic noodle dishes, his own original creations, and, of course, his mother’s classic recipes.
