Known the world over as one of the great and tastiest cuisines, Thai food is  also one of the lightest and healthiest. Thai food uses fresh herbs and spices,vegetables, seafood,and fermented foods in flavorful ways. Thai food utilizes and balances the 5 tastes -hot, sour, sweet, salty and bitter, it is about enjoying the flavors as well as the health that we get from eating well.
    I have brought together some recipes and essays about Thai foods from all over, as well as adding the food adventures that I am sure to have when I arrive in Thailand.
