People generally think of Thai food as being very spicy. Certainly chillies are used a lot but there is a wide range of foods in Thailand that are not overly hot. One of the great advantages of making Thai food at home is that you can vary the “heat” according to your family’s preference.
Among the best known Thai food are the Thai Curries and the basis for all good Thai curries is the curry paste. Time consuming to make your own but well worth the time. One of the main reasons why Thai food has become so popular throughout the World is that Thai cooks use only the freshest of ingredients which are readily available in all the fresh markets in Thailand. Most Thai dishes take only a few minutes to cook and vegetables are usually served ‘al dente’.
Throughout Thailand there are regional differences in the cuisine and we will try to give you recipes from all the regions. Desserts are not commonly served in restaurants in Thailand but there is a mouthwatering variety of dishes available to make at home and with the addition of the huge variety of tropical fruit available in Thailand and elsewhere there is no reason to miss out on such wonderful treats.
