“Maenam exudes freshness and flavor. Citrusy lemongrass and spicy Nahm Prik are almost palpable flicking through Angus An’s modern homage to Thai cooking. This is a sure inspiration for many meals to come.”
—Yotam Ottolenghi
 
“Chef Angus An’s fresh, light and innovative approach to Thai cuisine is equally influenced by family and personal experiences, his mentor David Thompson’s teachings, the ingredients of the great Pacific Northwest and his skill and background in French cooking technique.

This handsome book will be a welcome addition to my collection and should be part of yours as well!”
