Whilst living and honing my cooking skills in Thailand, I got on the food trend, band wagon, that is sweeping old world countries with Renovation Cuisine. Where the Chef goes back to very old traditional dishes of a particular cuisine and reproduces the dish with a modern interpretation. However the solid traditional foundation and especially the correct flavor must still be strongly represented.

This in turn influenced my menu creation at Classical Thai Cravings and in turn gave birth to our Royal Banquet. At the beginning I was apprehensive as to how clientele would respond. Those fears where but to rest by the over whelming response we have had to these traditional and sometimes rustic and robust Thai flavors.

At the heart of food there is certainly a commonality between palates the world over (This is able to be seen when cooking Thousands upon Thousands of meals as any professional Chef does, but it does require getting out of your kitchen and traveling coupled with food tasting). By this what I mean is certain dishes that have stood the test of time and rose to great heights of popularity will usually be accepted by other countries as well. Maybe this works with very ancient Thai dishes in Australia due to the multicultural palates of the Australian.

Whichever way thank you to everyone for your support of allowing me to bring different Thai dishes and flavors to Australia there still is a lot more to come.

See our Royal Banquet.
