Thai restaurants are usually a gamble when you’re vegan. One of the very important ingredients in Thai cooking? Fish sauce. Not so friendly for us vegans! But, I love Thai food, and there are some restaurants out there that cater to those of use who love our fishy friends to… Read More →
Cue the Charlie Brown music, and let’s talk about pumpkins. Unlike Linus’ ongoing vigil in the pumpkin patch waiting on the Great Pumpkin, we do in fact have this glorious fruit (yes, it is botanically a fruit) appear every year in the Fall. Pumpkins are loaded with all kinds of… Read More →
I am a fresh obsessed freak and love fresh herbs and spices when it comes to cooking. While I use the usual set of spices, what I really cook with is a combination of ginger, garlic and an assortment of herbs and lime. One of these are the fragrant and fresh lime leaves…. Read More →

Continuing on my quest for the best Thai in LoHud land, I paid a lunch visit to the Thai Garden in Orangeburg yesterday. I had a refreshing Thai iced tea. Delishy.
After my visit last week, I ordered pad Thai to go. I had it for lunch the next day. I don’ t know if it was just the fact that it was to go or if I didn’t love the flavor, but it wasn’t my favorite. The other dishes far… Read More →

On my quest for the best Thai in the Lower Hudson Valley, Rockland is first. I might be a little biased when it comes to the Thai House. It’s been my Thai house of choice for years.
