Most Thai dishes are cooked with a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, which give the dishes their vibrant colors. Thai cuisine is also known for its use of aromatic herbs and spices, which give the dishes their unique flavor.
When cooking Thai food for a group, it's vital to remember that not everyone enjoys the same amount of heat. It's for this reason that making Thai food at home can be so satisfying: you can tailor the spiciness and other flavors to your own preferences. You can always add more seasoning, but once it's in there, it's in there to stay. Take it slow at first and see how it tastes. In Thai cuisine, adding coconut milk or coconut cream to a meal is a common way to reduce the heat and give it an exotic twist.
