Roots and Recipes

Cooking, Culture, and Comfort

From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the art of cooking, especially dishes that carry the essence of my heritage.

Growing up in Bang Lumphu, the vibrant heart of old-town Bangkok, my kitchen adventures became a love letter to my roots. The cooking process itself has always fascinated me—the transformation of simple ingredients into soulful dishes, like crafting coconut milk or tamarind sauce from scratch.

For me, cooking is more than just flavours; it’s about honouring tradition, experimenting with creativity, and finding a sense of calm in the rituals of the kitchen.

For years, Instagram has been my platform of choice, a space where I’ve shared the visual beauty of food and storytelling. But now, I’m looking to connect on a deeper level—beyond likes and scrolls. That’s why I’m inviting you to join me on Substack, where I’ll share not just recipes but the stories, techniques, my personal thoughts about food and cultural threads that bring each dish to life.

Invitation to my cosy dinner table.

Picture this as an invitation to my cosy dinner table. Twice a month, I’ll take you on a journey through Thai heritage, offering easy-to-follow recipes rooted in tradition and sprinkled with a touch of experimentation. Whether you’re seeking comfort in the kitchen or simply curious about the flavours of Bangkok, I hope you’ll join me in creating something meaningful, one dish at a time.

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to subscribe. But even if you just stop by to read and explore, you’ll always be welcome. Let’s cook, connect, and savour the joy of food together.
