Born in Suphanburi, Thailand, Natita “Dia” Berry has been preparing delicious Thai food throughout her life. Along with her brother, a respected chef in Bangkok, she learned her craft while sitting in the laps of her mother and grandmother, both accomplished family cooks. Since she moved to the States with her family in 2019, Dia has enjoyed offering informal Thai cooking demonstrations to family and friends. She is looking forward to sharing her country’s famously healthy and generously-flavored food with her Chesapeake Forum students.
