The Jazzy Vegetarian

Today host, Laura Theodore, the Jazzy Vegetarian,  chats with Native Thai author Chat Mingkwan, who is the celebrated owner of the “Unusual Touch Cooking School” in San Francisco. We’ll discuss and share delicious Asian inspired, vegan recipes. Chat’s overall philosophy is similar to his cooking simplicity. “Untie the knot, either the one in your stomach or the unclear one in the recipe. Make it simple, straight and true to yourself. Let’s walk this path together.” Chat conducts gourmet tours of southeast Asia and he is also the author of "Vietnamese Fusion" and "Buddha’s Table." His new cookbook, “Asian Fusion,” focuses on his culinary odyssey of vegan translations of signature dishes from all corners of the Asian continent; from Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and India to Laos, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Burma, and the Philippines. Readers learn how to use and find herbs and spices unique to these areas and will enjoy Chat’s practical approach to creating authentic Asian flavors for Western kitchens. Visit: www.un
