Riley Sanders

The Essentials Seasonal produce and market rhythm shape the kitchen here. Riley Sanders puts it plainly: "I give a lot of importance to seasonal ingredients. We go to the market regularly, which helps us discover new ingredients that we want to use." The method is practical. Regular market visits are not separate from the work; they are where the work starts, before a dish is fixed and before the menu is set. The result is a kitchen that stays tied to what is fresh, available, and worth testing now. Riley Sanders came to Bangkok six years ago because he wanted to learn more about food. That gives the cooking its open posture. The city, its markets, and the daily exchange between ingredient and instinct have shaped an approach that reads less as a fixed style than as a way of working. It is attentive, responsive, and built around what the market offers when it is at its peak.
