    The fish that makes a great catch

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 12/03/2017

    » I'm sure that there are many people who have the same relationship with catfish dishes that I do. When they think of a particular favourite -- grilled catfish with boiled neem flowers and the sweet-spicy sauce called nam plaa waan, or the fish deep-fried with spicy seasonings and crisp-fried basil leaves scattered on top -- they crave to eat some right then and there.

    Making the most of everything

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 23/03/2014

    » One quality that good cooks share is a determination to economise by getting full value for the money they spend. This economising does not mean penny pinching to cut expenses or using cheap ingredients, and then preparing only small amounts of food so that there is none left over. Real cooks do not think that way.

    A banquet of merit

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 09/02/2014

    » Around the middle of last month I wrote about foods that came into being as the result of community activities, events where people worked together for a shared purpose. The participants were usually housewives of an older generation, highly skilled women with much experience in preparing food, and the dishes they made were local ones rooted in regional customs and preferences.

    A dish sure to lead you to temptation

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 31/03/2013

    » A concern for healthy nutrition and a fondness for khao ka moo (Chinese stewed pork leg with rice) are tendencies so strongly opposed to each other that there is no hope of reconciling them. The best way around it, if you run into some irresistible khao ka moo at mealtime, is to vow that if you eat some now, you won't go near it again for a month.

    » In the early years after its founding, Bangkok was a city of small ethnic communities that were concentrated in certain parts of town. The Yaowarat area up to Talat Noi and Bang Rak was, of course, home to the Chinese community, with some Muslim residents as well.

    Locked up women find fresh outlook thanks to royal programme

    Spectrum, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 24/06/2012

    » Of Thailand's 25,000 female prisoners, 85% are there due to drug-related offences. Compared to other world prison populations, this percentage is inordinately high, as is that of the rising number of female inmates in relation to male inmates _ some 17% of Thailand's prison population is female. Many are arrested after becoming involved in the drug trade, used as tools by dealers. As young as 18, they are drawn into the wrong kind of company, their gullibility exploited. They tend to be girls with little education from poor families who are desperate for money.
