Omelettes (served with rice) are a really popular snack in Thailand. I think the method they use to prepare them is absolutely brilliant, and now I may never make omelets any other way! It’s not terribly healthy, because you’re essentially deep-frying the egg, but it’s a good snack every [...]
The couple we stayed with in Edinburgh was kind enough to let me cook them dinner. After 3 months with no kitchen I was dying to cook again, and it seemed fitting to make them Thai food. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to find all the [...]
These are incredibly simple appetizers that look fancy, but don’t take much effort. I used Thai Kitchen brand curry paste, and it made them really spicy, so if you don’t have a high tolerance for hot food, cut back on that a little bit! (My husband and I didn’t think [...]
My mother instilled an envioronmental conscience in me when I was very young and it really effects the way I buy groceries. For a few weeks, my grocery store only carried oranges from Australia, which is ridiculous because I know for a fact there are oranges growing all over [...]
I found a huge package of bean threads for ridiculously cheap at a market in San Francisco, and knew there would be many of these salads in my future. Tonight I found everything I needed to create this recipe already in my refrigerator, so this was easy to throw together. [...]

How can you not want to try a recipe for something called “Divine Rice”? With leftover rice and already-cooked prawns, this dish comes together almost instantly (okay, actually it takes about ten minutes). It’s simple and tasty, and if you like fish sauce, you’ll love it. I used brown [...]
When you leave your husband alone for five days, he might order some takeout Chinese food. So you may come home to a little takeout container of cooked rice, sitting in the fridge. Really, the only logical thing to do in this situation is to make fried rice. Particularly this [...]
I wanted to make a version of tom ka gai (Thai chicken and coconut soup with lime) that was vegetarian and included noodles. I used some things I found in my pantry and put together this soup. The lime juice stirred in at the last minute is what makes this [...]
I had an entire head of cabbage in the fridge and wanted to try out a new recipe for stir-frying it. I was making a Thai soup for dinner, so I turned to my favorite Thai cookbook for ideas. This one is quick, simple, and complements a wide variety [...]
