» Dwight Turner is a man who wears many hats. Not only is he a familiar face in Thailand's culinary scene (yes, he's the man behind bkkfatty.com and contributes to eatingthaifood.com), but he also spearheads In Search of Sanuk, a charity that provides food, shelter and educational support to survivors of torture and trauma. His love for all things delicious and a passion for education has inspired him to create Courageous Kitchen, a place where cooking skills meet life lessons. Turner and his team of volunteers hold cooking classes for disadvantaged children, teaching them how to make tasty meals, as well as discipline, self-confidence and the importance of healthy eating.
