About Arjaree
Hi, I’m Arjaree (Alycia)—most kids and families in my community know me as Thai Mama.
I create stories and cooking experiences that bring people back to each other. Some days that looks like a child falling in love with reading through a food-and-family adventure. Other days it looks like a table full of kids learning knife safety, rolling dough, and proudly tasting something new.
ByArjaree is my home for both sides of what I love:
Stories to read. Recipes to keep.
My books—especially the Chef Teriyaki series—are built around family connection, culture, and the simple bravery of trying something unfamiliar. My cooking resources and printables are made for classrooms, enrichment camps, and cook-along parties with friends and family—because real-life learning happens best when kids are engaged and hands-on.
Everything I make is designed to be practical, warm, and doable for busy families and educators—without losing the magic.
If you’re here as a parent, teacher, librarian, or community partner—welcome. I’m glad you found your way to ByArjaree.
Food and stories that bring us back to each other.
