English edition of royal chef’s ‘Royal Thai Tasty Diary’ published
The English edition of the “Royal Thai Tasty Diary” by Thanpuying Prasarnsuk Tantivejkul, a master craftswoman during the reign of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, was launched on Wednesday.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn granted an initiation to the Chaipattana Foundation to publish the book, aiming to showcase the rich culinary heritage of Thailand.
Following the successful release of the Thai edition in December last year, the launch of the English version aimed to introduce traditional Thai recipes to an international audience.
“By preserving these culinary traditions, the book serves as a valuable testament to Thailand's cultural legacy,” the foundation said.
The Royal Thai Tasty Diary is now available at PatPat shops and leading bookstores nationwide at 750 baht apiece.
Proceeds will be donated to the Chaipattana Foundation. Those requesting a receipt can make donations at the Office of the Chaipattana Foundation or PatPat shops.
