About

Welcome to my culinary world, a unique fusion where Thai heritage meets the vibrant flavors of South Florida! I'm Susie Thompson, a certified Nutrition Coach and Former Food and Nutrition Specialist. Originally from Thailand, my early years were enriched by my homeland's sights, sounds, and flavors. My journey eventually brought me to the cultural melting pot of South Florida, where I've merged my Thai roots with the diverse culinary landscape around me.

As the creative mind behind Beach Shack Sauces and the author of Susie Cooks Thai, my passion is not just Cooking but crafting nutritious and flavorful Thai-inspired dishes. Every recipe I create is infused with nostalgia, inviting you to savor the essence of Thailand and the cherished memories of my childhood.

Inspired by Wolfgang Puck's insight that "Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart," I am committed to creating innovative recipes deeply rooted in tradition. For me, Cooking is not just about preparing food; it's about telling a story through flavors, evoking emotions, and creating memorable experiences.

Nestled in South Florida with my husband, Chris, we enjoy exploring new flavors and creating nourishing meals together. Beyond the kitchen, I find joy in books that transport me to distant lands, travel adventures that broaden my culinary horizons, and the playful company of our dogs, Mickey and Glitch, who are always eager taste-testers.

Join me on this culinary journey where every dish reflects my passion for health, heritage, and happiness. From traditional Thai favorites to innovative creations inspired by local ingredients, let's discover the art of vibrant, healthy living through Thai Cooking. I invite you to explore my recipes, share your experiences, and join the conversation about healthy and delicious living.
