In Thailand just mention the name Chef Yingsak and everyone breaks into a smile. Flamboyant Dr. Yingsak is the best known chef in Thailand. He is the owner of the Thai & International Food Academy and has his own TV cooking show. Cooking at his academy is an international experience as people come from all over to study at his school. Green Curry is popular all over Thailand but especially so in Bangkok. Mothers often recommend Green Curry when someone has a fever.
