Her Hands Authntic Recipes

Susie Cooks Thai - Hero Block

I cook through her hands. I see through his eyes.

My name is Susie Thompson. I was born in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand and raised between two worlds — Thai kitchens and American classrooms, fish sauce and football games.

My mother carried these recipes across an ocean in her hands. She never wrote a single one down.

My father brought his camera. And a box of more than a thousand never-before-published photographs of Thailand in the early 1970s.

I watched them both my whole life.

Now I'm writing it all down for both of them.

Authentic Thai recipes from the heart of Thailand — the flavors of Kamphaeng Phet, Korat, and the Isaan corridor, preserved one dish at a time.

Her hands made them. Mine wrote them down.
