The popularity of Thai cuisine has expanded globally over recent years, resulting in it becoming one of the world's most popular cuisines - particularly in Australia, the US, Japan and increasingly in the UK. 

 

The uniqueness of Thai food lies in its skillful and complex balance of flavours:

 

① sweetness - from coconut milk, palm sugar, etc.

② sourness - from lime, tamarind, etc.

③ spiciness - from chillies, pepper, etc.

④ saltiness - from fish sauce, salt, etc.

⑤ bitterness - from bitter melon, raw leaves, etc.

Despite its popularity, comprehensive reference materials with translations of Thai cooking ingredients and terms remain scarce.  There is an abundance of Thai cooking books available, which often include a token glossary, however they incorporate only basic information (notable exceptions being the books of David Thompson and Kasma Loha-unchit, amongst others).

I hope you enjoy it!
