Thai Cuisine

This website offers a free collection of authentic Thai recipes, information about ingredients used in Thai cuisine, as well as a complete index of restaurants in Thailand.Thai cuisine is considered among the world's most delicious, with a unique blend of particular tastes: hot (spicy), sour (piquant), sweet, and always highlighted with citrus (lemongrass and lime).

What gives Thai cuisine its distinctive character is a harmony in its tastes. We have soups that look plain in color but the taste combination is sour, salty, hot and aromatic. The use of peanuts and coconut in our curries are very characteristically Thai as well. We use distinct herbs such as lemongrass, kaffir lime, both the leaf and the fruit, galangal, one in the ginger family, and mix them with the pungent sourness of fresh lime or the pleasurable sweetness of palm sugar.

The most important thing to remember about Thai food is to appreciate its lightness, its heat and its passionate smell long before it arrives at your dining table. Herbs used in our food have a dissimilar scent from western ones. They are much more aromatic and yield different flavors in each Thai dish.

Thai CuisineTo appreciate Thai food you have to understand how we eat. Westerners eat their foods with such starch as bread and potatoes. Thais eat their foods with rice. The experience of having a Thai dinner is a communal eating. Many dishes are served for all to share and everyone at the table take the food from these dishes and eat them with rice. Each person at the table does not get his or her own plate of fried fish or sweet and sour pork. They will get a plate of rice and share all the dishes served at the table. It makes the meal more enjoyable because you can sample more dishes that you want.
