About Pailin Chongchitnant

Thai-Canadian chef and creator behind Hot Thai Kitchen

Pailin Chongchitnant is a Thai-Canadian chef, cookbook author, and YouTube creator based in Vancouver, best known for her channel and site Hot Thai Kitchen. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu, she has built a large following by teaching home cooks to make authentic Thai food, and is the author of the cookbook Hot Thai Kitchen: Demystifying Thai Cuisine with Authentic Recipes to Make at Home.

Her cooking stays close to traditional Thai technique and flavour balance, working with fresh curry pastes, fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind to hit the sour, sweet, salty, and spicy notes that define the cuisine. She is known for explaining the reasoning behind each step, including ingredient substitutions and regional variations, so dishes like green curry, khao soi, and pad thai come out close to how they would taste in Thailand while still being achievable in a home kitchen.
