Real Thai food and how to replicate it in your kitchen

As featured on Nine to Noon on Radio NZ Interview

 

Thai food is always a takeout favorite, but two food lovers have teamed up to bring the taste of Thailand right into your kitchen. Chawadee - or Chow - Nualkhair is a Bangkok-based food writer and author of food blog Bangkok Glutton who teamed up with Devonport-based Lulu Taylor - after their kids became friends at school. They bonded over food and decided to write a book about Thai cooking - crammed full of authentic recipes as well the historical and regional influences on the food. Covid ended up being a spanner in the works, with the book - Real Thai Cooking: Recipes and Stories from a Thai Food Expert -  pulled together at a distance. But it also ensured the book would help the home cook, with easy ingredient substitutions. It was the first of two lockdown projects for Lulu - who also started Secret Kiwi Kitchen  - an artisan baking mix company.
