Sabai with Pailin

Hello Friends!

When I was writing the heading I thought to write Sabai with an “!” after it. For one thing we’ve gotten so used to adding “!” to texts and emails to indicate enthusiasm or at least positivity; to avoid being misconstrued or seeming flat or disinterested. I also wanted to add the “!” because Sabai is the title of Pailin Chongchitnant’s latest cook book and it is so good! We have made a bunch of recipes for simple Thai, home cooked dishes and enjoyed them all.

But then I paused because Sabai translates (I learned from Pailin) to something like ease, taking it easy; which of course an “!” does not indicate.

It was great to talk to Pailin again about her passion for Thai cooking. We first met when her book Hot Thai Kitchen came out. At that time she had started a YouTube channel and was rapidly gaining followers. She was actually one of the early users of YouTube to create a program. These days she has over a million and a half subscribers to Pailin’s Kitchen and a website filled with ideas and information about Thai cooking. And she is just as passionate about showing off Thai cooking to audiences around the world as when she started.

I hope you enjoy our conversation!
