Celebrate the weekend with some scrumptious homemade pancakes that are also a cinch to make! These Easy Coconut Pancakes (with Coconut Syrup) turn out light and fluffy, and are so good, my husband and I were eating them right out of the pan. You can enjoy them as is, or if you're a keen coconut fan, try serving them with my easy coconut syrup for a trip straight to a tropical paradise! Includes frying tips for light and fluffy pancakes you'll love to serve.  And leftovers can easily be popped into the toaster the next morning for a quick breakfast treat. ENJOY! (photo by D.

The temperatures are warming up and the long summer weekends we all love so much are finally here. Celebrate this wondrous time of year by serving up a summer fish treat, like this beautiful Thai Fish Cakes Recipe! Thai Fish Cakes are a common street food in Thailand, and are very flavorful compared to most Western fish cake recipes. They aren't battered, which I find allows for more of the fresh taste of the fish, spices, and herbs to come through. Serve them with or without rice, as a starter or the main course. If you like crab cakes, you'll love these Thai fish cakes. ENJOY! (photo of delicious Thai Fish Cakes, by D.Schmidt)

Summer cooking means fresh ingredients put together in new and exciting ways, leaving the heavy meats and fats of winter far behind. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan or simply looking for a delicious dinner idea, these Vegetarian Thai Food Recipes will give you a taste of how amazing meat-free dishes can be. Vegetarianism is a growing trend in Thailand just as it is all over the globe, and these dishes reveal just how incredible veggie food can be. Included are many Vegan dishes, as well as gluten-free meals so no one has to miss out. And because they're brimming with plenty of Thai taste, you always feel more than satisfied (and second helpings are encouraged!). ENJOY! (Shown: new Thai Mushroom Fried Rice!)

Beef can be boring or absolutely astounding as well as a healthy source of protein. Thai beef dishes are especially delicious and offer good nutrition without a lot of extra fat you don't need - and they're so rich-tasting and flavorful! Here are some of my favorite Thai Beef Recipes, and I'm sure you and your family will love them too. All made from scratch and so savory-delicious, you'll want to serve them to guests. And now that the weather is warming up, you can also take your cooking outside and try one of the great grilling recipes on this list (most of which can also be made indoors if the skies don't cooperate). ENJOY! (shown here: Thai Waterfall Beef)
