Taste for seasoning..
The first of these cookbooks,.Siamese Cookery.
, was written by Marie Wilson in 1965.In it, she assured readers that “while there is nothing plain about Thai cooking,” the dishes are “not difficult to prepare,” as she made substitutions that resembled a Western diet.Her recipes called for “light on chili peppers” and “soy sauce instead of fish sauce” homing in on how easily consumable Thai cooking is for non-Thai tastes..
While her cookbook became an authority for Thai cooking, it presented a fantasy version of Thailand to Americans, one that was both exoticized, inaccurate, and harmful.Food became a way for people to think of Thais as "exotic" during the development of Thailand's tourism industry after WWII and helped to justify American involvement in Thailand.
The way Wilson wrote about and standardized Thai food in her cookbooks was a way to assert dominance over Thai culture and it was American military presence and ongoing relations in Thailand that enabled women like Wilson to discover and represent Thai food culture in the first place..
