Taking Over Thai Food.As non-Thai people tasted Thai food for the first time, they subsequently became "experts" as they brought their Thai culinary “discoveries” home through cookbooks.

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.View on Artifaqt.
