HEAD CHEF, CANES

Industry : Food

Chef Siripong “Son” Kosol is the head chef at CANES, a vegan casual-dining restaurant in Bangkok known for its commitment to cruelty-free, locally grown, natural, healthy, and zero-waste food. At CANES, Son collaborates with food scientists to create innovative plant-based dishes that are both sustainable and rooted in local ingredients. From fermentation techniques to alternative proteins, each dish is developed with care for both taste and environmental impact.

Each dish is designed with both flavour and environmental impact in mind. Instead of imitating meat, the menu highlights the natural qualities of plants and uses techniques like fermentation and precision cooking to bring out complexity in taste and texture. At the core of the kitchen’s philosophy is a commitment to supporting regional producers and lowering the carbon footprint. For Son, cooking is a way to express values and inspire new perspectives. Through CANES, he’s building a culinary vision rooted in health, ethics, and creativity.
