A healthy spoonful
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 17/06/2018
» Once again, I find myself writing about health and food choices -- a topic I could never bore of. We all survive off food so it's important to know how to maintain a healthy diet that keeps our bodies in balance.

Water way to go
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 03/03/2019
» There was once a time in Thailand when the population was small and the waters were full of life. Today, the country has nearly 70 million people, but the number of marine creatures is decreasing all the time. In the past, people had respect for the seas, lakes, rivers and their inhabitants. We are not so conscientious anymore. There isn't enough concern about what our activities could mean for the future.

Cracking duck eggs' appeal
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 31/07/2016
» If you compare a duck's egg with a hen's egg, which one comes out on top? The right answer is that each one has its strong points. Most people prefer hen eggs, however, and it is easy to find them for sale in any fresh market or supermarket where they are bought in much greater amounts than duck eggs. Cooked-to-order food shops don't keep duck eggs at the ready for customers, who are very unlikely to ask for them.

Gone but not forgotten
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 07/08/2016
» Many old Thai dishes that were familiar to people of a few generations ago are gone now, but among the old dishes, a number have been revived and are appearing on menus again. In many cases there have been revisions and adaptations, however, with new ingredients introduced as substitutes for original ones that are hard to find now, or that may no longer be available at all.

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.

Hazards that lie within
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 19/08/2018

Bringing good health home
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/04/2018
» In my column two weeks ago, I talked about the challenge of selecting the right vegetable oil. I mentioned that we should try to avoid purchasing fried foods from vendors as they are known to put the oil on high heat and reuse it, creating harmful chemical reactions. This is common knowledge, but people still can't help but rely on ready-to-eat meals. Although research has yet to verify vegetable oil as a cause for disease, it wouldn't hurt to be cautious about consuming it.

Going organic is worth it
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 02/07/2017
» They say you are what you eat. That wisdom is so true. But how can we eat wisely to stay healthy and safe? That requires planning and knowledge. It's wiser to think twice about what you're going to have for your next meal.

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.
