My Cooking Style

Authentic Thai cuisine! I take advantage of fresh ingredients whenever I can and prefer to make things from scratch instead of buying pre-made things. I also have years of experience with American-style baking and cake decorating.

My Culinary Experience

I have lived in New York for almost 40 years and have been cooking all of that time. When I first came here form Bangkok, I started to work in restaurants and have worked all positions from waiter to manager, which is where I learned my cooking skills. After working in restaurants, I became a chef at an executive dining room at a large banking company in Manhattan, as well as a chef at a private professional club. I have also always cooked for my family and friends, often with help from family and friends!

I also love to bake and decorate cakes / other desserts. I have certificates from the Wilton School of Cake Decorating and the Artisan Baking Center.

Certificate in Food Protection from NYC Dept. of Health and Hygiene.

Toi is nothing short of amazing. She is prompt, well-prepared and we truly enjoyed having her cook for us! She made us the best papaya salad I have ever had (if I am being honest, probably the best Thai meal I have ever had) and she cooks with a lot of care and love-her moniker "Thai Mother Hen" fits her to a T!
