Home comforts
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 05/03/2017
» When you see a country housewife picking krathin shoots along the fence bordering her property and gathering pea-sized eggplants called makhuea phuang, she'll probably tell you that she is going to pound up some nam phrik (chilli dip sauce).

More Than a Decent Cutting Board
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 24/12/2017
» This week I'd like to persuade you to love tamarind trees. If you don't have one, grow one. If you already have one, don't ever cut it down. Tamarind trees are remarkably versatile and robust and don't require very much attention. They can even survive heavy floods. Tamarind trees are excellent species for shades. Sometimes sunlight barely gets through. Flesh from mature pods is just what you need to make tamarind paste. You just have to squeeze it well.

Off the beaten Trat
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 06/09/2015
» If you were to tell 100 people that you had just come back from a short vacation in Trat province, all of them would assume that you’d gone to Koh Chang, because tourists think of that island as a slice of paradise. There are more than 200 hotels on Koh Chang, and white sandy beaches and dive spots with gorgeous coral. Seafood restaurants, bars and entertainment spots abound, so it is no wonder that you see as many tourists strolling around on Koh Chang as you do on Silom Road in Bangkok.

The fishermen hooked on conservation
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 13/09/2015
» Land-bound as we may appear now to anyone living in the city, Thai society of the past had an intimate relationship with water. Thais lived next to water and travelled on it in boats.

Wrapped in folk wisdom
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 08/02/2015
» When you buy food, its packaging might be either the standard mass-produced kind used by the manufacturer or something more informal, supplied by the vendor. Once the food is eaten, the wrapping is usually just thrown away. It has done its job and is no longer useful.

No stairway, But there is a heaven here
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 25/05/2014
» I have a list of desirables for a trip that’s relaxing and satisfying, a getaway that leaves stress back in the city. First is an unspoiled natural environment with a quality all its own. Then comes a peaceful social environment that is in harmony with the natural one, and where the lifestyle and occupations of the local people have a special, local character. There should also be a chance to taste food that is different from that in other parts of the country.

A fond foodie farewell
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 01/06/2014
» Last week was Satun, this week we’re off to Trang, the final stage of my tour of the South. This province isn’t one of the top tourist destinations like Krabi, Phangnga or Phuket, but it is ideal for those who prefer a quiet spot with beautiful beaches without mobs of tourists swarming around, a place where they can spend time looking at interesting local attractions and finding good things to eat.

A good cook knows his chops
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 15/06/2014
» Last week, this column took a look at one of the most familiar pieces of equipment in a Thai kitchen, the pestle and mortar. Most households will own just one of these, but a cook who owns several, in different sizes and made of different materials, will find that choice offers advantages. Each can be selected for the task that suits it best.

Fruit in flux in a race to the top
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 10/11/2013
» Anyone who pays attention to the culinary scene here knows that it is constantly in motion. New dishes appear and old favourites recede. Influences from abroad are absorbed, and new approaches are taken to the way ingredients are used as different ones because available or appropriate. Flavours alter, too, in response to shifting preferences. But once a given dish stops changing it means that it has reached an ideal and stable form.

The freshest fish are worth the extra effort
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 25/08/2013
» Most people who like to cook set the goal of making each dish turn out as delicious as possible, and therefore place a lot of importance in using good ingredients _ fresh meat and produce, dried foods and condiments, and seasonings. All three of these elements are equally important, and finding the best of each is essential to good cooking.
