Pok Pok Cookbook Getting Started Kit, Various

This Ricker-approved Pok Pok Cookbook Getting Started Kit includes the basic Thai ingredients and cookware recommended by Andy to make the recipes in his debut cookbook. We consulted directly with Andy & J.J. Goode to put together all the essential items you'll need to get started in one kit.

Getting Started Kit

• Large Granite Mortar and Pestle 7"
• Sticky Rice Steamer Set
• Sticky Rice, 5lb
• Fish Sauce, Tiparos, 23 fl oz
• Thai Soy Sauce, Healthy Boy, 23.5 fl oz
• Oyster Sauce, Mae Krua, 10 fl oz
• Yellow Bean Sauce, Pantainorasingh, 16 fl oz
• Shrimp Paste, Pantainorasingh, 13 oz

If you do not already own a Carbon Steel Wok, you may want to add one to your cart. Additionally you should consider an electric rice cooker to save time and effort when cooking jasmine rice (for example for Andy's Coconut Rice recipe).

Reuters News recently asked Andy:

Q: What are the kitchen essentials needed to cook the dishes in your book?

A: At the minimum, you need a mortar and pestle and probably some way of making rice. Those are the two most important things in terms of equipment. In your pantry at the minimum you need some soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce. You need to get some yellow bean sauce. You need some shrimp paste. Other than those things, it's all recipe-dependent.
