Glen Izett the “Bald Chef” has spent some time eating and tasting the local food from Thailand. I have been to Thailand and I know a lot about how to cook great Thai recipes. I know one thing about the food from Thailand, and that authentic Thai cuisine is spicy and easily one of the best food from Asia. Eating Thai food for over 35 years I know what Thai food is some of the most flavorful food in Asia. The most important food that is used in most Thai recipes is rice. The steamed rice is called “KHAO SUEY” (ข้าวสวย) and is used in most of the food you will eat in Thailand. If you want to learn to cook great Thai recipes the Bald Chef will show you how to cook authentic Thai food, just like the food you would eat on the streets of Thailand.

Geographically, Thailand is a very diverse country. Thai’s like to divide there county into four regions. The Thai Central region is a large delta area, set near the Chao Phraya River. Southern Thailand is in the form of a peninsula on the Gulf of Thailand just north of Malaysia and is where Phuket is located . The Northern part of Thailand is cooler and more mountainous the main city is Chiang Mai. Northeastern Thailand is a plateau set near the Mekong River. Each region has its own distinct foods, recipes, and landscapes. In southern Thailand the food centers around fresh seafood from the surrounding waters. Northern Thai curries are milder than those of the Central and Southern Thailand. Geographically, Thailand is a very diverse country. Thai’s like to divide their county into four regions.

When it comes to my favorite Thai recipes I would say Thai fried Flounder with basil and chili sauce, Pad Thai with shrimp, and Chicken basil are on the top of the list. Other very good Thai recipes include Drunken Noodle ,Kao Pad (fried Rice),Lad Na Noodles, and Goong Pik Pow Grilled shrimp sauteed with roasted Thai chili, snow peas and shallots in tamarind & garlic sauce. Thai rice noodles (guay-dteow) are used in many of the national Thai dishes. Some of the best Thai recipes are Maybe the best known Thai dish is PAD THAI which is made with rice noodles, peanuts, bean sprouts, garlic, fish sauce (Nam Pla), and Prik Kee Noo Thai peppers. Prik Kee Noo Peppers literally translated in English are mouse shit peppers. Siew means soy sauce in Thai and is used to cook some Thai recipes, but most recipes use fish sauce. Prik Nam PLA (Chili fish sauce) is a condiment, in Thailand that is served almost every dish of Thai cuisine as a condiment. Prik Nam PLA is made of fish sauce, I recommend 3 Crabs Brand Fish Sauce (Nuoc Mam), Prik Kee Noo Peppers,lime. And garlic. Other ingredients used Thai recipes include shrimp paste (gapi), cilantro, Thai eggplant , kaffir lime leaves, sweet basil leaves, and coconut cream. The Bald Chef hopes that you will share the passion he has for great Thai food.
