Andy,

It’s a great pleasure to have met you and your learn.

I think this Thai-food project of yours is praiseworthy in that it will not only show the reader how to best prepare their Thai food at home, but Will also explain the philosophy behind the various processes in a comprehensive way.

Having known you for nearly a decade, I can only say there are very few connoisseurs of Thai dishes; or even Thai chefs anywhere, who have an understanding of provincial Thai cuisine comparable to you.

For example, I was pleasantly surprised by your detailed explanation of the difference - both in the methods and the number of ingredienti used - in preparing the “laab-muang” dishes between the people in the province of Nan and those who live in Chiang Mai.

Furthermore, we both share a common belief that the “old” way is the best way: that a chili paste from a mortar is much tastier than that from a grinder; and that meat grilled with charcoal smells far better than done any other way.

By making it a rule to travel to Thailand at least once a year in order to acquire deeper knowledge of the country’s food and culture - you have thus become a Thai at heart.

In the name of all Thais, I wish to thank you for playing a part in upholding our cultural values.

Best wishes.
