Andy Ricker's Tam Taeng Kwaa (Thai Cucumber Salad) From 'Pok Pok'
Andy Ricker opens his new Pok Pok cookbook with a series of variations on papaya salad. These are the beating heart of his namesake restaurant, providing its inspiration as well as a sweet and sour bridge between the range of complex savory dishes.

Andy Ricker's Phat Thai (Stir-Fried Rice Noodles With Shrimp, Tofu, and Peanuts)
Phat thai wasn't on Andy Ricker's original menu at his Portland restaurant, Pok Pok. It wasn't until he opened a noodle shop in New York that he fully embraced the public's demand for a serious plate of Thai fried noodles. Ricker's recipe in his new Pok Pok cookbook is a version of the dish he serves in New York. Even though it has a long, somewhat chaotic ingredient list, the final dish is subtle and almost delicate.
Andy Ricker's Phat Khanaeng (Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts) From 'Pok Pok'
I was surprised to see a recipe calling for Brussels sprouts in Andy Ricker's new Pok Pok cookbook. As it turns out, Ricker has spotted a similar vegetable (a cross between Brussels sprouts and bok choy) in stir fries in Northern Thailand. He prepares them simply, in a Chinese-Thai hybrid of a sauce made with oyster and fish sauces, for a sweet, salty, and spicy dish that'd fit in with just about any spread of seasonal dishes—Thai or otherwise.
Panang curry
Panang curry is one of my favourite Thai curries as it's rich in flavour and packs a little punch. But, if you can't handle the spice, you can just reduce the amount of chillies you use to soften the heat. Enjoy!

Andy Ricker's Kaeng Khiaw Waan Luuk Chin Plaa (Green Curry With Fish Balls and Eggplant) From 'Pok Pok'

Green curry was the first Thai food I remember eating. My parents would make it with jarred curry paste, coconut milk, green beans, potatoes, and chicken--I trust many of you are familiar with this meal. I loved this curry, and in fact still make it occasionally when the craving strikes. The green curry in Andy Ricker's Pok Pok cookbook is nothing like that curry.
