About your tutor
I am from Thailand and have been living in NZ for nearly 30 years. I take great pleasure in cooking Thai food for my family, even though none of them are Thai. They love my country's food. I would love to share my passion and helps others learn how to prepare authentic Thai dishes, as they are not only delicious but also healthy.
