In 1908, during the reign of King Rama V, Lady Plean Passakornrawong (ท่านผู้หญิงเปลี่ยน ภาสกรวงศ์) created what would become one of the most significant documentations of Siamese culinary arts. Her manuscript, Maae Khruaa Huaa Bpaa (MKHP), stands as the first comprehensive recording of late-19th century Siamese cuisine, capturing both royal court traditions and common household recipes.

About These Archives

I’m delighted to present these translations through our AI service, Jasmine from Flair and Spirit (ThaiFoodAi). I’ve trained this specialized AI system on my extensive collection of Thai culinary knowledge, including recipe collections, lectures, and writings. The service is designed to illuminate the depth and beauty of these historical recipes while maintaining their authentic voice.

Each translation adheres to our MKHP_as_is principles, ensuring Lady Plean’s original expressions remain intact. I personally examine every document processed through the service before publication, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and cultural authenticity are maintained.

Through this combination of AI assistance and human expertise, we’re able to make these invaluable historical recipes accessible while preserving their original spirit and cultural significance. This project represents my commitment to protecting and sharing Thailand’s rich culinary heritage with the world.
