THAILAND

The essence of Thai cuisine is flavor contrast in perfect harmony. Sweet, sour, spicy, and salty play a balancing act together ... one flavor never supersedes another. The diverse climactic regions of Thailand, from the densely forested mountains in the north to the tropical seaside in the south make for an equally diverse Thai menu. Locally plentiful ingredients, like coconut milk, seafood and fruit, have an essential roll in all Thai cuisine. Herbs and spices reflect the centuries-old Influence of both Eastern and Western cultures.

"Everybody who visits Thailand will love the friendly people and the amazing cuisine. Thai food is multilayered: spicy, tangy, sweet, and savory all at the same time. Each bite is a taste sensation! I enjoy sampling the variety of street food sold along the sidewalks of Bangkok and Chiang Mai. It is always fresh and full of exciting flavor components."
