Welcome to our Thai recipes section. Thai cuisine is adaptable, innovative and dynamic. The best Thai cooking uses the freshest ingredients available to create the unique Thai taste. This taste can be defined as the use of all 5 flavors: spicy, sweet, salty, bitter and sour. Only Thai cuisine brings out all of these flavors to play together harmoniously in a meal. Get started with our home style Thai recipes for Pad Thai, Sticky Rice, Curry & Satay. Most of the Thai recipes here are not elaborate but good useful everyday food that can be prepared with a reasonable expenditure of time and labor. These recipes are mainly home-style i.e. not in the palace tradition. That said, the recipe should be a only a rough guideline. Like all great cuisines, the foods in season should be the most important factor to determine what to cook. Basic knowledge of the balance of the five flavors is key.
