I love Thai food—meaning, I love to eat Thai food. I have to be honest and say that I usually shy away from making it at home, because so many recipes have long lists of ingredients that make it seem hard to cook. But Giada De Laurentiis has a recipe for Thai Turkey Lettuce Cups in her brand-new book, Weeknights with Giada (Clarkson Potter, March 2012), that captures all those great Thai flavors I crave and is super simple to make. This was like I-forgot-cooking-could-be-so-easy kind of simple, as the dish was ready to go by the time my rice was done. Perfect!
