Hungry for More: Thai Mom

Jump to recipe

Have I mentioned I’m re-watching Mad Men? I’ve watched the entire series once in its entirety then I got bored a few weeks ago and decided to watch again. On the second time around of watching a television show, you start noticing a lot of things. I’m noticing jokes I probably missed the first time around and the disgusting use of cigarettes. I mean, let’s be honest, even if it’s your first time watching you notice the smoking but good grief it’s terrible.

Watching Mad Men for the second time around also confirms how glad I am to not have lived in that era. If I’m being honest though, one thing I’d like to bring back from the Mad Men time is bar carts in offices. Obviously I’m all about imbibing responsibly while in the office but I love the idea of having a classic cocktail while at work.

I have no idea why I’m writing about Mad Men. Today’s post is about me still cooking my way through Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook, Hungry for More. If you’re interested, I’ve chronicled some of my adventures cooking through this cookbook on Instagram (see the Hungry for Moore highlight). More importantly, I’m having fun cooking recipes from this book. Chrissy Teigen never let’s me down.

Hungry for More: Thai mom

The name of this section is pretty self-explanatory. It features Thai recipes from Chrissy and her mom, Pepper. Everything in this section sounds delicious. I only made two recipes from it but some recipes in the section include:

  • pad thai carbonara
  • thai fishcakes
  • crab fried rice
  • thai soy-garlic fried ribs

After flipping through I decided to make crab fried rice and red chicken curry. Both were delicious but let me say this: after tasting the chicken curry, John declared that it was the best thing I made. I’ll admit, it was really, really delicious. I’ve made curry before but something was different about this recipe. You could taste every single flavor. I’m definitely making this again and you should make it too! I’ll share the chicken curry recipe below but you’ll need to get the book for the rest of the recipe.
