Thai Kitchen was founded in 1989 when Seth Jacobson made his first trip to Asia. It was during this initial journey to Thailand that he fell in love with the land, the people, and the cuisine. At an outdoor market in the center of a Thai village, he discovered the secret behind the astonishingly complex, rich, and flavorful Thai cuisine. The high quality was achieved by selecting and combining only the freshest ingredients without any compromises. He noticed these authentic Thai dishes were made with an intricate combination of fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, tamarind, Thai sweet basil, galangal, fish sauce, and jasmine rice.

Seth realized the Thai diet, based on grains, vegetables, herbs, and spices, was perfectly positioned for the American market where consumers seek new and exciting flavors and healthy foods. Being raised in the specialty food industry, he immediately saw the potential for this exotic and flavorful cuisine. Realizing this excellent opportunity to combine his knowledge of specialty foods with his newfound passion for Thai cuisine, he began to develop relationships with Thai ingredient suppliers. At the time, there were no domestic suppliers providing Thai staple items like fish sauce, coconut milk, and fresh curry pastes. He chose to work closely with Thai farmers to create the true authentic flavors of Thailand, as he could not achieve the true flavors by using ingredients found domestically.

In October 1990, Thai Kitchen's first shipment, arriving at the port of Oakland, California, consisted of 8 core items representing the backbone of Thai cooking. Thai Kitchen sought to make Thai cooking easy for American consumers by providing easy-to-follow recipes, tantalizing descriptions, and serving suggestions. Retailers and consumers embraced the product line with enthusiasm, especially with its upscale and engaging packaging. As Thai restaurants were cropping up all over California and the West, consumers were delighted to find that they could recreate the dishes they had enjoyed in their favorite restaurant at home.

Today, Thai Kitchen has over 45 products sold in 50 states and Canada, found on the shelves of gourmet food shops, natural food stores, green grocers, ethnic markets, and grocery stores. Thai Kitchen offers everything the American consumer is seeking: taste, quality, and authenticity - the best of Thailand. With offices in the United States, Europe, and Thailand, future plans are to continually develop unique and delicious products bringing consumers the sights, smells, and flavors of Thailand.
