This week I have chef Pailin Chongchitnant, host of the YouTube channel Pailin’s Kitchen, and author of the companion website Hot Thai Kitchen. She recently released her 2nd cookbook, Sabai: 100 Simple Thai Recipes for Any Day of the Week.This episode is a primer on Thai food and cooking. She dispels some Thai food myths, and shares her top five items for stocking a Thai pantry at home. We discuss why she was compelled to write another cookbook, and she shares how she grew her YouTube channel to over 1.5 million subscribers and almost 170 million views.   PAILIN CHONGCHITNANT<a href='https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/about/'>Hot Thai Kitchen Website</a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/HotThaiKitchen/'>Hot Thai Kitchen on Instagram</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/pailinskitchen'>Pailin’s Kitchen on YouTube</a> <a href='https://amzn.to/3JkRXcW'>Buy the Cookbook Sabai: 100 Simple Thai Recipes For Any Day of the Week </a><a href='https://www.facebook.com/HotThaiKitchen/'>Hot Thai Kitchen on Facebook</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5odVRW9ldzU'>Video: Thai Chef Takes You Grocery Shopping</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn26usXYkKQ&t=219s'>Video: How to Eat Thai Food Correctly</a> CHEFS WITHOUT RESTAURANTS <a href='https://chefswithoutrestaurants.com/sponsors/'>If you enjoy the show and would like to support it financially, please check out our Sponsorship page</a> (we get a commission when you use our links).  <a href='https://mailchi.mp/fe0d8a0cc7a6/chefs-without-restaurants-email-list'>Get the Chefs Without Restaurants Newsletter</a><a href='https://urlgeni.us/facebook/GWRgroup'>Private Facebook group</a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/chefswithoutrestaurants/'>Chefs Without Restaurants Instagram</a> <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@chefswithoutrestaurants'>Chefs Without Restaurants on TikTok</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHXxixMxjf05XxUIbz6ER-Q'>Chefs Without Restaurants on YouTube</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/725607/open_sms">Get in touch</a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/725607/support">Support the show</a>
