Sa-Wud-Dee Ka (Hello in Thai), my name is Saowaluk and welcome to my Thai kitchen! I’m from Trat in Eastern Thailand. I am a versatile cook based in Newbiggin on the Sea.
When I grew up in Thailand, I could get food anywhere and everywhere. I didn’t realise how much I loved Thai food until I traveled outside Thailand. My passion for Thai food has now grown more from living aboard. In Thailand my favourite activity was to try new food. My friends and I really love to go to taste speciality foods from different restaurants.
“Thai food reminds me of my family when I was young”
I was born into a Thai family with strong traditions. In the old days, the Thai kitchen was the same level with the floor. My mum is a very good cook. She sold food for a number of years. When my mum was cooking she sat me on the floor and she didn’t move any where else. The girls in family must assisted mum in the kitchen every day. Mum taught my sisters and I to be able to cook by ourself ready for when we start our own family. I can still feel, smell and taste the food of each dish to this day still. That is the way we learn how to cook Thai food.
I started my catering business and teaching cooking in 2007. The business went well but after I had a baby I stopped the business for a few years. I have recently re-started the business again this year.
“Thai food is healthy and brings people together”
I cook Thai food every day for myself, my family and friends. I think Thai food is healthy and brings people together. I know how to cook Thai food very well but another important thing is to know how to find good ingredients to make authentic Thai food. I also learn from my experience how to adapt Thai food to suite western palates. I am sure you will love to learn with me and I look forward to meeting you soon!
