About

Annie Balow’s first memory of cooking is watching her mother prepare food early in the morning for the monks at the local temple. Her mother and aunt also made big meals for the people of their village during times of celebration. Annie loved watching; watching to learn, but most of all observing how happy it made her mother to cook for others. When Annie’s mom passed, she learned everything that she could from her aunt, including her mother’s favorite recipe: stir-fry crispy frog. To this day, it is without fail the meal that Annie’s father requests when she visits Thailand.
