  • I grew up on the banks of the Mekong River. As a little girl, I would run up and down the rows of beautiful chillies near my home and occasionally (accidentally) pick some. I must have been quick as I never got caught!

    I remember them being so vibrant, so deliciously hot.

    There is such a huge variety of vegetables, herbs and spices in Thailand and every time I return I discover something new in the local markets or

    Bangkok’s innovative backstreet eateries! One of my favourite dishes is the Big Flavour Mushroom Larb – juicy, exotic mushrooms (we love mushrooms

    in Thailand!) with delicious fresh herbs and a hint of chilli. I hope you enjoy our dishes as much as I loved finding the ingredients!
