Enjoying life with family & friends through food
Come join me on my month long culinary adventures in Thailand. A wonderful travel destination to experience excellent food and culture. Below, I share with you my experience as I dive into my educational journey to learn how to cook Thai at the Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy. I learned over 150 dishes and received my Master Thai Culinary Chef certificate. It was one of the best experiences in my life. Hopefully my experience will teach you some new things about Thai cooking. Take a look!

Today completed my first week of learning how to cook Thai (I get a one day break tomorrow, Sunday…whew, I need it!) Three more weeks to go! It’s incredible how many different Thai dishes there are and I’m sure that there are A LOT more…
Good day to all! Hope you are enjoying all the posts on all the wonderful Thai food that I am preparing. What a wonderful opportunity that I have to do this for a month! Some of the new ingredients that I used today included wing…
Hi my friends, it’s me again. Today, like the others so far, was another fun filled day of cooking and learning new ingredients and processes. Some new ingredients I worked with were Thai pumpkin (texture and taste is more like a sweet potato then our…
Just when I thought the recipes couldn’t get any better, they do. Another amazing day learning how to work with new ingredients. First off the bat I tasted the coconut milk custard dessert that I had made yesterday, and then I tasted another one, and…
