Northern Thai
The cooking of Lanna and the upper Thai provinces, shaped by Shan and Burmese trade rather than by the central Thai court. It uses little or no coconut milk, more ginger, more whole warm spice and more long wet cooking than central Thai food. Gaeng hung lay is the type dish. Sweetness comes from palm sugar held against tamarind, not from coconut.

A cuisine is set once and never changes
A recipe keeps its name and its cuisine for the whole of its life. Everything else — the wash, the dredge, the timings — belongs to a revision and may be revised. Nothing is edited in place; a new revision is written and the old one is kept.
