Cook Like A Thai Made Simple, The Official COOK LIKE A THAI Podcast With Pradichaya Poonyarit
Sawaddeeka! Pradichaya is back in this week's new episode! We are doing things a bit differently, my lovely friend! Don't be alarm when you see the title. It's my way of ringing the wake-up bell - ding-ding-ding!
Are you a recipe hoarder? I am. Yup. I got tons of recipes in my hard- and external drives - all 5 of them, and I'm about to run out of storage. Oh yes, I've got clouds for them (recipes), too!
These are mostly Thai recipes, and they originated from other people. I took them to look at them - perhaps once - then put them away. I collect cookbooks, too.
My level 2 Thai recipes are kept in a special place. They came to me through my mom, and I wrote them down. They were my mom's own recipes, and the rest were the ones she learned from her grandmother.
I've cooked all level 2 recipes. I had to, or I wouldn't be able to write them down. My mom was a doer and believed all would benefit most from doing, so she never handed over what she knew.
As far as my level 1 - aka day-to-day cooking, it's funny how I've never written them down. That's because I've had a lot of practice. When I started, my mom taught me over a long distance phone call to cook soup - tomjeud (tom-jeud). Does Bell Telephone ring a bell?
This episode is about bringing your attention to something you may have overlooked. Also, you will see a lot of photos I took during the production of "COOK LIKE A THAI: From Gaprow To Keemao And Recipes In Between."
Enjoy. And, if anything, the takeaway from this episode is "Stop collecting and start cooking." - Like a Thai, of course.
You can also head over to grab my recipe. It's been in my family for four generations. Here go go --> Tomyumgoong Made Simple >>
Hope you will take action.
