"It's in the herbs and spices" according to Keo Sananikone, author of the international best selling Keo's Thai Cuisine cookbook and owner of the restaurant of the same name. And to assure that these ingredients are always available and of the quality he demands, for over three decades Keo has been growing the herbs and spices himself.Keo, nowadays as much farmer as restaurateur, has two farms on the North Shore of O'ahu. At these farms he grows Thai fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, as well as every single herbs and fresh spices used in his restaurant. Most of the flowers, potted trees, and plants in his Honolulu restaurant also come from these farms, in addition to the fifty pounds of basil and thirty pounds of mint picked and delivered every evening.Keo explains that "Even on my day off, I go to the farm to pick the herbs and spices, especially the mint and basil. which wilt if picked too early. I'm tempted to skip it sometimes, but I don't because many of my customers appreciate and expect the fresh herbs in my dishes."
