Lin was born in Lanpang a small country village in N. Thailand. She was brought up in the village, learning many useful things about plants and food and nature. At school, as with most other Thai children, she would learn the many artistic practices for which Thailand is most famous, including the art of vegetable and fruit cutting for display.
Cooking and preparation of Thai food was learned from her mother and sister at this time.
Later she went to work in Hong Kong for 4 years and gained experience in Chinese cooking and language.
She has been in England now for 12 years, working as a chef in Thai restaurants including the well respected Dragon Inn restaurants, as head chef, where she learned even more oriental dishes and the health and safety aspects of food preparation.
| | In 2000 she began her own catering business and has been enjoying success ever since. At her home in England she has her own Thai herbs and vegetable garden, so that she can provide many fresh items directly. There are unfortunately some restrictions in winter time, as the weather and temperatures here are not quite the same as Thailand!! However she has many contacts and suppliers, who also supply to all the major restaurants and shops in the UK.
Lins favourite dish is the Chicken green Curry - made with herbs, green chilli, fresh vegetables and topped with basil leaf. Presented as below and looking delicious!! |
