The Curry House Cookbook



a selection of Thai curries
Thai recipes


Ian Philpott was a prolific contributor to the now defunct Chile-Heads mailing list. "The Colonel" had written down the traditional Thai recipes made by his wife, Muoi Khuntilanont, and then added his commentary in his own indomitable style.

Back in 1996, when I started The Curry House, Ian kindly gave me permission to showcase some of Muoi's recipes. By the time "The Colonel" sadly died in 1998 he had put together a website of his own featuring all his postings to the Chile-Heads list.

Regretably, Ian's website was taken down some years ago but many of the recipes for Thai curries which appeared on Muoi Khuntilanont's Kitchen can be found below. There are more recipes on Chet Bacon's site.
