Savour the many flavours of Thailand with Food by National Geographic Traveller (UK)

LONDON (12 March): This spring, Food by National Geographic Traveller (UK) is taking a deep dive into Thai cuisine with a comprehensive tasting tour of the country.

Long considered one of the world’s heavyweight culinary destinations, Thailand’s reputation rests partly on the popularity of classic dishes such as red, yellow and green curry and pad Thai. But, in its latest issue, the magazine looks at what else is on the menu, exploring some of its most exciting culinary regions and showcasing their most beloved dishes.

Glen Mutel, editor of Food, said: “When it comes to Thailand, if you’re a food lover, the situation is simple – if you’ve never been, you need to go, and if you have been, it’s well worth going back.

“Naturally, there’s a real breadth of great dining experiences to be had in Bangkok – and in our cover story, we bring two sides of the city together by asking some of its most decorated chefs where they go for street food.

“But beyond the capital, Thailand is an intricate patchwork of flavours – and in this issue, we aim to reflect that, sampling everything from noodles in Chiang Mai and papaya salad made with fermented fish in the Isaan region to the dim sum breakfasts that have put the southern city of Trang on the map.”

Also in this issue, we explore the traditions and techniques behind moles – the complex sauces so treasured in the Mexican city of Oaxaca; enjoy a family meal among the fig orchards and olive groves of northern Jordan; and visit the nanobreweries shaking up the beer scene in Portland, USA. All this, plus the best of Prague, Glasgow and Corsica.

In addition, expect the usual mix of thought-provoking features and easy-to-follow recipes from world-renowned contributors.
