THE illustration Series

Dear Reader,

For me, food is a reflection of the people who grow it, cook it, and eat it. It gives me a glimpse into those peoples' lives — who they are, where they come from, what they believe in. Working on The Everything® Thai Cookbook has given me the opportunity to become familiar with exotic tropical ingredients, Far East growing and cooking methods, and Asian cultures and religions — all of which blend together to form Thai cuisine.

It has also given me a renewed respect for an intriguing people who have been forever free, who have created an amazing style of cooking, and who share their love of food through family meals, store-front restaurants, and gourmet palaces.

Please join me as we explore the bounty of Thailand — the flavors, the dishes, the celebrations, and the people that make this one of the most loved cuisines of the world.

Explore and enjoy.
