Don't have a cow, man
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 06/01/2019
» Today, people aren't eating as much beef as they used to. There are many reasons for this. Some feel cows are noble creatures that help and live with farmers, and it would be a pity to eat them. Some feel that beef is too expensive, up to twice the price of pork or three times the price of chicken. It's tougher to chew and digest. If you worship Ganesh or Guan Yin, it's a sin to eat beef.

» Ever wonder why it is so wonderful to have a good bowl of khao tom pla insi (rice soup with king mackerel), mahi-mahi steak or grilled salmon with soy sauce? The credit, at least partly, goes to the skill of your cook. The other part of such a pleasant eating experience is that the fish comes bone-free. Somebody has done a very good filleting and deboning job for you already.

» Bananas play an important role in Thai culture. They can be found all over the place, which is probably why they are put to use so often and in many different ways. Even the logo of the Thailand Creative & Design Centre features produce wrappers made from banana leaves. The rectangular shape reflects a basic Thai-styled design influenced by the shape and various uses of the fruit's leaves.

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.
The roots of radish

» The hua chai thao, or Chinese radish, is both cheap and easy to store. There's no need to worry about it going bad if you keep it in the refrigerator for a while, and it is a good friend to have at hand when you are having a hard time deciding what to cook. A Chinese radish in the refrigerator offers many tasty possibilities. You might cut it into long slivers and fry them with egg, stew them with ground pork and soy sauce to make a soup, or slice the vegetable and boil it to serve with nam phrik.

» I probably sound like I’m bragging or exaggerating when I say Thailand is home to the greatest variety of grilled chicken in the world. Be that as it may, there are reasons why chicken cooked this way has been such an important part of Thai cooking and over the centuries spawned countless variants.
