​

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!
