Happy February, friends! For several years, we’ve been making February a food-centric holiday. It’s a month-long celebration of a cuisine that’s close to our hearts. It’s Thai Food Month!

The idea is simply this – February is cold where we live. Holiday food is behind us and the fresh foods of spring have not yet arrived – February needs extra love. And February is the perfect time to eat the intensely flavorful, cozy, spicy food of Thailand.

Our Story

Frank and I lived in Thailand for five years. Our oldest daughters were born in Bangkok. We will always have a soft spot for Thailand, and most especially, for its fantastic food. Thai Food Month is a great excuse to eat our favorite dishes, stock our Thai pantry, venture out to Thai restaurants in town, and host some friends for a Thai feast or two.

I start dreaming of steamy, colorful, vibrant Bangkok when I cook all of these dishes, and nothing makes me happier than seeing them on my (and your) table this month!

For a little walk down Thai Food Month memory lane, see 2011, 2016, 2018, and 2019. Each year we have a little more fun recreating our favorite recipes, eating sticky rice with the kids, and seeing what you all make and eat too!
