What's the Big Deal About Cook Like A Thai?
Many boast about cooking Thai food using premixed sauces, thinking that’s the real deal. But have you seen what goes down on TV shows? They throw around "Thai-influenced" like it’s the real thing! Carrots in Thai curry, anyone? Oh dear, it makes me cringe! Trust me, I hold a passionate grudge against those orange invaders when it comes to authentic Thai dishes.
My Thai Food Story
My approach to Thai cooking harks back to generations ago, taught to me by my great-grandmother, a chef for King Rama IV. Her legacy? The original recipes that have been passed down, now lovingly modified to embrace both Thai and local American ingredients I find in my Las Vegas home. An updated version that makes Thai cooking both exciting and accessible, without losing the authentic touch.
Real Thai Ingredients? Absolutely!
From Florida, Texas, California… right up to Mexico, getting real Thai ingredients has never been easier. It's an absolute thrill because now you can step out, make a quick stop at your local grocer, and come back with fresh Thai basil or aromatic lemongrass ready to enhance your home-cooked meal.
Beyond Just Following Recipes
I'd love to teach you the way my mother taught me—step away from the text and embrace the heart of Thai cooking. It’s about feeling, tasting, and savoring every morsel, complemented by the aroma that fills your kitchen. Imagine having friends over, putting food on the table, and the fragrance alone making everyone hungry for a taste. Yes, even my grown-up kids can’t resist sneaking in for a bit of what’s cooking!

🥰I'm Pradichaya. I've been in- and around- Thai food & cooking business for a few decades.
✍️I wrote "From Gaprow To Keemao And Recipes In Between."
🙏Being a Thai native and making both America and Thailand my homes almost my whole life also gives me an edge in cooking authentic food with local ingredients.
🤩My work background also helps me get really good at teaching.
🦸♀️My superpower is in making my food flavorful.
My specialties are all types of Thai curry, flavors and sauces.
💖Because of this, plus how most Thai restaurants don't really serve you real Thai food, I set my heart on guiding you to the true, authentic version of Thai cooking.
🎉🔥👩🍳Come "cook like a Thai" with me, so you can cook and enjoy Thai food the same way I and most Thais do.
