My name is Jatuporn, but my family and friends call me "Jum".
As a proud mother, that wants my kids to feel more connected to their Thai heritage through the recipes that were passed down to me by their grandmother, and great grandmothers.
Growing up in Southern Thailand, I was surrounded by an abundance of fresh herbs (and chillies) just growing around our home, scattered between the papaya, banana and jackfruit trees. We harvested practically all we needed.
We were blissfully unaware of just how lucky we were, and how Mother Nature was there to support our nutrition, our good health, and when we fall ill, our remedies.
Inspired by loved ones, I started this journey with Mae Jum ("Mae" means Mother in Thai). Or perhaps they encouraged me for the convenience of getting hold of my pastes online!
