Sawasdee Ka! My Name Is Praew

I grew up in Thailand until I was six, already more interested in helping grandma cook than playing outside. Later, I worked in Thai takeouts and ran my own Thai restaurant in Belgium. Now I’m back in Thailand, sharing recipes with over 10 years of professional experience in Thai kitchens!
