Pim Techamuanvivit has fearlessly pushed boundaries, as noted by the New York Times , San Francisco Chronicle , Food and Wine , and many others. Born and bred in Bangkok, Pim's longing for the flavors from her childhood drove her to give up a thriving career in Silicon Valley for the restaurant business. Her first project, Kin Khao in San Francisco, received a Michelin star in its second year. Nari in San Francisco and Nahm in Bangkok followed suit. Having successfully sustained Michelin stars and other awards on both sides of the Pacific while also maintaining cancer remission and navigating the global pandemic, Pim is now energized to advance the understanding of Thai cuisine by sharing her knowledge in printed, bound form. Cooking Thai showcases Pim's culinary prowess as she deftly guides you through the landscape of Thai cuisine, helping you understand the veracity, complexity, and deliciousness it has to offer. Andrea Nguyen is a culinary bridge builder, leading authority on Asian cuisines, and award-winning author.
