Having lived in Bangkok for three years with my children, while also exploring the rest of
the country extensively, Thailand holds a very special place in my heart. As well as the
lovely locals in ?The Land of Smiles?, I have always been drawn to just how much it has to
offer ? from dynamic cities and glittering temples, to world-class wellness retreats and
lush jungles. There are also many amazing beaches to choose from across the hundreds
of remote islands and marine national parks.
Of course, Thai cuisine is also a huge part of any visit and, just like the country itself, is so
diverse ? from authentic street food to exquisite fine dining. I have seen just how important
food is in the Thai lifestyle, with many hours spent sharing dishes with friends and family.
While in Thailand, fresh pomelo salad and local fish steamed with lemongrass were my
go-to favourites.
Here at Elegant Resorts, we work closely with Thailand?s best luxury hotels, each housing
restaurants that showcase the country?s fabulous food. With this is mind, we?re delighted
to introduce our Taste of Thailand Cookbook, featuring recipes from the expert chefs of
these properties, chosen to highlight the signature flavours and natural bounty of their
region. They may feature a few authentically Thai ingredients, but they can easily be found
in an Asian supermarket or substituted for something more familiar. So, from the comfort
of your own kitchen, get ready to recreate the delightfully distinct flavours of Thai cuisine,
using recipes from those that know it best.
