World chefs: Andy Ricker shares Thai obsession in first cookbook

I want to thank Mr. Ricker for this recipe. I will definitely try it. I love Thai food and it is always fresh and tasty. Thanks again, chef.

The book, which Ricker co-wrote with food writer J.J. Goode, takes its title from the name of the Portland, Oregon restaurant he opened in 2005.

And the restaurant takes its name from a spicy Thai salad.
