Northern Thai Food for a New Mag

We had the best intentions for one, maybe even two posts this week. But relatives arrived, work piled up, travel plans had to be made, life got in the way. It happens.

In a couple days we all depart for Cambodia and Chiang Mai (and Dave heads to Vientiane for the first time since 1995, for a spot of work). While we're on the road we'll try to post from there, if not of there.

In the meantime, there's a new beautiful food magazine out of Norway called Aroma. The publishers invited us to put together an article for the first issue, and we wrote and photographed on something we'll be enjoying very soon: northern Thai food.

You can purchase an English language version of Aroma, available for ipad and Android, as well as in pdf form, here. For the Norwegian language version go here.

One more bit of news: this month's issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine includes a lovely write-up on food in Penang. I (Robyn) happily steered GT writer and editor Pat Nourse to some of my most loved eats in George Town ... and was surprised to see the article includes a photo of me at our very favorite restaurant Tek Sen. Thanks to Pat and photographer Christopher Wise for making me sound informed and look not too bad.

Thanks for sticking with us, despite our dismal posting record of late. Happy weekend, everyone!

I would love to buy a copy of Aroma.

No need for reasons.
I'll take quality over quantity any day.

Speaking of quality the photo of Khao Soi is making me drool in such a way that would make Pavlov proud.

Very nice of you to say, Steve. Thank you!

Wait, that first photo of the Cambodia – the coconut and rice flour treat – isn’t that the Vietnamese Banh bo (in relation to the Cantonese rice sponge cake) ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1nh_b%C3%B2

Haven't seen the pdf Katy, so not sure which photo you're referring to.

Robyn - I am talking about the photo in your post of Cambodia up there! (not the pdf of these Gourment articles which I don't read and buy!)http://eatingasia.typepad.com/eatingasia/cambodia/

Life has a way of getting in the way of blogging, inconvenient though it is, I guess one does have to live it (life that is, not blogging) ;D

The magazine looks great, I will keep my greedy eyes out looking for it on the app store

Talking of high quality the photo of Khao Soi is making me drool in such a means that may make Pavlov proud.
