Local wisdom
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 23/12/2018
» Let's have a look at some regional food that is representative of different regions. Nasi dagang is a speciality in the three southernmost provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala. It consists of rice cooked in coconut milk, with salt, sugar, cumin, fenugreek, ginger and shallots. This type of rice is suitable for fish curry and chicken curry. In the past, it was typically reserved for important occasions, but now it's considered part of the regular cuisine.

Currying flavour
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 24/04/2016
» When it comes to Thai dishes that have staying power and remain favourites from generation to generation, nothing can beat khao kaeng, or curry and rice. It is like a supporting pillar of Thai cuisine that is deeply rooted in the culture. Every region, every ethnic or religious community in Thailand will have its own style of food, and high on the list will always be a curry. There is Thai Yai curry and rice in Mae Hong Son and Muslim-style curry and rice in Satun. Vendors in Chanthaburi in the East will have on display a range of local curries hard to find anyplace else.

Faraway foraging
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 18/11/2018
» When you go to Ang Thong province, you have to try the phadช Thai at Wat Khong Khoong. Or the grilled snakehead fish at the Chao Plook junction.

If you go to the Pran Buri river mouth in Prachuap Khiri Khan, then the seafood at Udom Pochanakarn is a must.

Green Giants

» Vegetables are the healthiest natural food you can find. Cornucopia might look obsessed with the greens because we don't seem to get enough of talking about their variety, from the backyard garden vegetables to herbs and organics.

A taste of the past
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/01/2017
» When we take our first steps into a new year, starting on the path can be more reassuring if we look back on the year that just ended and put some of the things we experienced in it in one place. Over the past year, the Cornucopia column looked at many things -- among them, the old riverside neighbourhood along the Chanthaburi River, the Pathumwan area as it used to be; the informal markets known as talaad nat; traditional folk medicines; smoked fish; pesticides in vegetables; local dishes you can only enjoy by doing some travelling, and much more. Today I would like to review some of these subjects and gather them together into a kind of culinary and cultural tour.

Grills and Thrills
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 13/03/2016
» If you think in terms of time spent, it might seem that the methods our ancestors used to cook food were very demanding. Take grilling fish on a charcoal stove, for example. In those days, people thought of grilled fish as a simple dish. All you had to do was get the stove ready, put in some dried coconut husks as fuel, set the fish on the grill and cover them with banana leaves. The banana leaves kept the smoke inside so that it would flavour the fish and also stopped the breeze from blowing directly onto the coconut husks and making them burst into flames.
