Mom's Recipe Episode 1

Wedding day

Chengtu and Sriyada are getting married. They are running late but arrive just in time after Sriyada charmed the man they bumped cars with into forgiving them for a wedding gift.🤣Chengtu’s mom wants more jewelry and different food but the son is pretty set on the couple getting the say rather than the parents. I have not seen a Thai wedding ceremony before and it was beautiful. I especially liked the blessings from the parents. Sriyada is teased relentlessly over not being able to cook—at all. However, she wants to change this and she calls her mother in law to teach her a simple dish her husband would like. She is walked through the shopping trip and all the prep work to finish up with pork skewers. Her neighbor helps her with the sticky rice and after marinating all night she has them ready right when he wakes up. He is a bit overwhelmed from childhood memories when his family was altogether. He thinks his mom bullied her and she confessed she called to learn. Her mom has already passed, so she called her other mom that is living. She gently encourages him to be close to his mother because it is time you can’t get back when they’re gone. This was a very good introduction to meet the family and to start off Sriyada’s cooking adventure. They also include the recipe directions at the end so viewers can enjoy the dish she made. I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness of family along with the cooking tips.
