My Story

My Name is Nongnooch Mercer. I was raised in the jungles of Thailand, and as the only girl in the family, I started cooking before I learned to read and write. I came to America in the 1990’s and started my life here working in Thai restaurants. I never liked the way that they prepared the dishes, it was not authentic thai style. I moved on with my life and started a career and a family. I never gave up my love for cooking traditional Thai style dishes and always enjoy cooking for family and friends. I was constantly told that my cooking was better than any Thai restaurant in Arizona, and with my personality that I should start a cooking channel on youtube. I did do that, but I enjoy cooking for people and serving them, that is my gift. With my husbands support I decided to retire my career in aerospace and open a catering business where I can cook for select people and service them as they enjoy my cooking. I started Thaitanic Nooch Catering Service where I offer catering of up to 15 persons, home delivery food preparation and even in home cooking for special occasions. You can visit my youtube channel at Sanook with Nooch.
