For Kitiya Ditpare Homs, cooking fresh food has been a lifelong passion that started in her family’s kitchen in Bangkok, where she was regularly surrounded by vibrant fragrances and bold flavors of Thai cuisine. After a decade of working in the corporate world, Kitiya could no longer resist pursuing her passion for cooking.  Now a Ferry Plaza Farmers Market regular, she continues to grow Kitiya Thai Eats and share classic Thai flavors, with her own twists, in the form of take-home products: Pad Thai Sauce, Nam Jim Ped (a spicy green sauce), Prik Gang Kio Wan (a green curry paste), Nam Jim Jow (a roasted tomato sauce), and Prik Gang Tai (a vegan southern style curry paste, showcased in Kitiya’s Lamb Jam Award winning dish). Kitiya talked with Foodwise about her passion for food, sustainability, and community that motivates her as she shares a taste of Thai cuisine and with the Bay Area.
