Thai Food – Thai Cuisine

No one can argue about the popularity of Thai food today.  From Tokyo to Toronto and all places in between you will find, at the very least, one restaurant serving the increasingly popular fare.  Simply peruse your local bookstore’s cooking section and you’ll find multiple titles dedicated to Thai food.  Why such great interest in the dishes of this small country located at the center of Southeast Asia?  Inside the website www.thai-food.in.th we will try to explain the phenomenon by bringing you the depth of Thai cuisine.  This includes the regional differences among similar as well as varying dishes.  We hope you will learn the amazing variety that exists from the spicy grilled Laps in the North to the smooth and fiery Gaengs in the South. 


In addition to exploring the basics of Thai food, here will provide helpful explanations of Thai ingredients including the various herbs, fruits and vegetables that are common to the tropical country. We’ll teach you about naturally sweet Thai desserts and the common Thai beverages that accompany Thai food.


As the website grows, we’ll be adding recipes so you can try your hand at creating exotic Thai dishes as well as bringing you on a face-to-face journey to stalls, stands and restaurants around Bangkok and the country so you can see, first hand, how the Thais enjoy their unique and complex cuisine.  We’ll include some of the most popular places to find particular Thai dishes and, hopefully, get a couple of secret recipes along the way.


I hope you can take the time to visit our website, here.  We are only just beginning but our hope is that, as time goes by, you’ll find it to be a great resource.  We hope that whether you are just beginning your exploration of Thai food or you are looking to expand your understanding, you will find what you need at here

Success!

Thanks for putting this video and recipe together. It was really easy to follow and worked brilliantly. I made this for my wife's family last night here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Thai or Asian food is hard to find here so you have helped me introduce them to the wonders of Asian cuisine. Cheers!

I have always loved Asian cuisine, but never had Thai food before, because I was told it was very spicy. On a pack of rice noodles I saw a recipe for Pad Thai, and I thought well that does not sound spicy and I googled Pad Thai, which brought me to your site and all your wonderful videos. Your delightful manner and ease in which you show us how to cook such flavorful dishes has made me a convert to Thai food, I even have started to add some chilies Smile
As a side note I discovered that it might be actually good for my high blood pressure.The fish sauce has 16% of sodium versus the salt has 29% of sodium.
So I have decided that for one week I will cook only Thai food, and will keep track of my blood pressure.

So if you would make some more videos I know there are many of us who would appreciate it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I loved your video and recipe! Very informative and helpful. I have always enjoyed this dish at restaurants but finally made this dish for the first time at home and loved it! I used fish sauce instead of salt, palm sugar instead of sugar and added kaffir lime leaves because I had them all on hand. Thank you for sharing! Smile
wonderful videos -- simple instructions
