Ingredient notes

A gentle introduction to Thai dessert ingredients

A practical orientation for international cooks—without pretending every ingredient has a perfect substitute.

Begin with function, not imitation

When an ingredient is unfamiliar, first understand what it contributes: aroma, structure, sweetness, color, or texture. A substitution can then be evaluated honestly, rather than treated as identical.
