Many thanks for your comments.

I will be contacting you on my return to Spain at the end of the month.

My name is Bobby Pradachith and I’m currently a culinary student at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. I am a Laotian-American and both of my parents are from Laos. Right now, my parents own a Laos-Thai restaurant in Falls Church, Virginia; my mom, who is the head chef has brought out the idea of Laotian Cuisine to everyone around the area and she has gotten many recognition and reviews from Washington Post, Zagat.com, Yelp, and Washingtonian Magazine. When I graduate from the Culinary Institute of America in 3 1/2 years, I planned on taking over my family’s restaurant and make it more modern and fine dining because I want to bring Laotian Cuisine on the map. I want to bring a concept that could impress many consumers and foodies around the world. My mom was the one who told me about you and wanted me to check out your background. As I have been looking at your website and facebook, I have been fascinated by your skill and creativeness that you have changed in many traditional Laotian dishes. Your type of style is the style that I want to pursue and want to build upon in my culinary journey. For my assignment at the Culinary Institute of America, I have to do a “Externship” Program, which requires that I spend 18 weeks in a professional culinary kitchen and I have do many tasks for the assignment. Some of the tasks consisted of weekly journals, menu costing, recipe costing, picture taking, and many more. My “Externship” start from March 2012 to August 2012. The reason why I’m telling you this information is because I want to ask you if you would accept me to do my “Externship” as a line/prep chef at your restaurant in Spain. If you can give me your email or other contacts, I would like to send you my resume. Thank you chef for your time and convenience and I hope to keep in touch soon.

I came across your blog not too long ago, and being a Laotian-Canadian, I had to show my mom and my aunts, how you interpret and express traditional Laotian cuisine in a modern context.

I frequent your site often and I’m always amazed at how you execute your dishes.

I was wondering if you had an email that I may contact you at so that I may officially inquire about a potential internship. I’ve read throughout your blog that many individuals have asked, and I was hoping for a chance to learn from you as well.

Yo llegué a España en 1999 y el resto del equipo en 2005. No tenía ni idea que había otros Laosianos en España, conozco ahora algunos en Madrid pero en ningújn otro sitio.

Foremost thanks for keeping up with this wonder blog… Love it!
With that said do you know I can get a copy of From honeybees to pepperwood, I am located in Madison, WI USA.. and recommendation? It is not on Amazon.  Thoughts? 

Thanks! 

Antes que nada, felicitaciones por la valentía de experimentar y crear nuevas delicias a partir de los platos tradicionales de Laos! 
Me preguntaba si eres parte de los laosianos que llego a España a comienzos de la década del 80?
