Leeann was a fabulous cook and teacher. With this new book, her daughter Katie will make Thai cooking simple and approachable for the home cook, just like her mother did with Chinese cooking for American kitchens. Katie makes Thai cuisine easy to understand and approachable. -Roy Yamaguchi, award-winning chef, author, inventor of Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine and founder of Roy's Restaurant Let's be real-I'm a fashion expert, not a chef.

Katie Chin's dynamic personality and ability to make food a relatable experience has transformed my fear of Thai cooking into an obsession that is now a daily part of my life. Her choice of ingredients is stylishly unique, while the ease and taste of her dishes have become my obsession. Friends, ever wanted an excuse to turn up the heat in the kitchen?
