Watcharee Limanon, the creative force behind the Watcharee’s brand, is passionate about sharing Thailand’s culinary traditions. As a young girl growing up in Bangkok, she spent many happy hours with her mother learning to make traditional Thai food from family recipes. When it came time to choose a career though, she followed in the footsteps of her father, a Thai Supreme Court justice, and became a lawyer.

While traveling throughout Asia to advise governments on environmental law, Watcharee rediscovered her passion for cooking and was inspired to become a chef. Changing careers, she deepened her knowledge and skills in Thailand’s culinary traditions through training at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School in Bangkok.

Watcharee now lives on Cousins Island in Casco Bay in Maine with her husband and twin boys and enjoys the local abundance of seafood and fresh produce. In 2014, she began bottling her own sauces to help moms and other home cooks easily make traditional, wholesome, and quick Thai meals at home. Her passion is to create authentic products that offer the right balance of convenience and nutrition, making meal prep faster without sacrificing quality.
