Nuit Regular

Nuit Regular is the chef and co-owner of four restaurants in Toronto. She was named one of “The 20 Most Influential Female Chefs and Restaurateurs Right Now.”[1]

Biography

She grew up in Pai, Thailand. Regular did not like cooking when she was young but was expected to help out in the kitchen. She met her husband, Jeff Regular, when he was traveling in Thailand. At the time, she was a nurse. Together she and Regular opened a restaurant called the Curry Shack where she would cook at night after her nursing job. Eventually she enjoyed cooking more than nursing.[2]

In 2006, the couple moved to Toronto where she studied English and for nursing license. Jeff’s father approached her about opening a restaurant in a building he owned. That resulted in the restaurant SukhoThai.[2]

Regular is the executive chef and co-owner of Pai Northern Thai Kitchen, Kiin, Sabai Sabai, and SukhoThai. She has been a judge on Wall of Chefs, a Food Network Canada show.[2]

In 2020, Regular published her first cookbook, Kiin with Penguin Random House. The book features recipes and essays that focus on northern Thai cooking, and was awarded the 2021 IACP Cookbook Award for International Cookbooks. [3]
