Renowned chef David Thompson first went to Thailand by mistake- a
holiday plan had to be changed at the last minute and he ended up
in Bangkok, where he was seduced by the people, their culture and
cuisine. Since that fateful trip more than 25 years ago, Thailand
has become his second home. Working alongside venerable cooks who
traced their skills back to the Thai royal palaces, he began to
document the traditional recipes and culinary techniques that have
been handed down from generation to generation - before they were
eroded, altered and modernised beyond all recognition.
David Thompson is now widely recognised as an authority on Thai
food and culture. Through his award-winning books, Thai Food and
Thai Street Food, and his acclaimed nahm restaurants in London (the
first Thai restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star) and Bangkok
(which made its debut on the San Pellegrino list of the World's 50
Best Restaurants in 2012), he has increased the awareness and
appreciation of authentic Thai cooking worldwide. He lives in
London and Bangkok.
