The ultimate love child of street food and comfort food. If you like pho, this is very close to it but with Thai flavours! Well balanced flavours with lots of textures going on…topped with crispy garlic…this ain’t your mama’s chicken noodle soup! Haha, that is definitely true for my mama, although my GRANDmama would make […]
The importance of a good stock cannot be overstated, especially when making a soup, stew, or sauces. I am so passionate about this I even wrote about it in my cookbook. And considering how easy it is (almost no effort, it just takes some time!) there should be no reason why you shouldn’t! And when […]
Here’s a curry so good I can drink it….literally! Cuz what’s special about this is that it’s so light a brothy. Think comforting chicken soup, but with the flavours of a red curry. Winter melon absorbs the flavours like a sponge, which is why it’s such a popular vegetable used in curries in Thailand. And […]
Bolognese sauce with Thai flavours…does that sound delish or what!?

This is a special recipe I received from Kelly Neil, a food photographer/blogger from Halifax, Nova Scotia as part of the Rethink Beef Recipe Swap challenge that I talked about in my “Thai Bolognese” or Rice Noodles with Curried Meat Sauce video!

This super easy, comforting chicken soup is full of wonderful aromas of traditional Thai herbs that truly represents simple home cooking from the south of Thailand. Turmeric, the star of the dish, is an herb that’s not used too often in Thai cuisine as a whole, but it is used a LOT in the south! […]
It’s hot pot time! Most Asian countries have their own style of hot pot, and just in Thailand alone there are a few different types! “Jim jum” (also called jeaw hon in Isaan dialect) is the style of hot pot from the Northeast of Thailand that uses simple, staple ingredients in the Thai pantry. It’s […]
After being on a toast-and-cereal breakfast routine for what seems like years, I desperately needed to find a new, interesting, delicious way to get breakfast ready in just a few minutes (because I am not getting up extra early if I can help it!).

This “underwater” cooking technique is going to blow your mind, both by the sheer brilliance of the science behind it, and also by how deliciously tender and flavourful the chicken becomes! After seeing how this works (it’s all explained in the video) you might think it’s a newly developed technique by smart science nerds, but […]
This famous dish is iconic of northeastern Thai cuisine, and it’s probably the healthiest chicken salad I’ve ever seen! A few years ago I made a pork laab video, this time I make it with chicken with lots of new tips and tricks to help you make a laab to impress! And that crazy good […]
These pork toasts are addictive little appetizers! I used to get these in Thailand from a street vendor as a kid, but the traditional ones are deep fried and the bread gets really oily, so I developed this recipe that is baked instead of fried, so you still get the same delicious flavour but without […]
These are the BEST ribs ever!!! Super easy, and doesn’t even require the oven, you just need a bit of patience, but it will be well rewarded. 🙂 For this episode I’m in the kitchen with a Thai cooking virgin! My friend Colin Knecht is a fellow YouTuber and a talented woodworker who made me […]
