Thai Barbecue Chicken Wings in Lime

This is my adaptation of a deep fried Thai hawker dish. I was using my BBQ to cook another dish so didn’t want to be rushing between the kitchen and garden – deep frying and grilling like a maniac. I made my life infinitely easier by making the sour lime dressing separately beforehand. I cooked [...]

Thai Yellow Curry with Minced Pork

This is one of my all time favourite Thai curries. Minced pork marries so well with the spiciness of this dish. It’s a curry that packs a slow growing warmth, where the spice is present, but not overwhelming. It’s very fragrant and one of the nicest curries you’re likely to taste! RECIPE:

Spicy Thai Green Curry with Pork

Earlier in the week I’d eaten out at one of Sydney’s many Thai restaurants and had quite an explosive time. The dishes we chose were amongst some of the spiciest food I’ve ever eaten. It was at my upper limit of spice pain and I actually couldn’t finish my food! It was delicious but I [...]

Thai Green Curry with Beef

It’s Thai food phase. I recently bought a new pestle & mortar and it’s changed my life! I’m using it extensively to make curry paste after curry paste. Thai green curry is quite delicious, and one of my favourites. It’s spicier than its red counterpart but with a fragrance that is deceptively mild. I love [...]

Northern Thai Chicken Curry

This has a distinctive flavour of Northern Thailand. There’s a heavy use of ginger which is a characteristic of the region – not unlike the cuisine of Thailand’s neighbour, and one of my favourites Myanmar (Burma). The use of turmeric gives a stunning orange appearance. What isn’t so stunning is the bright orange hands I [...]

Thai Chicken & Lime Curry

If you’re looking for a deliciously fresh curry, then try this amazing Thai dish which uses all the wonderful character of the lime. The flavours are a fantastic trio of tangy, spicy and sour. It’s something a little different from the normal Thai curries I usually make and I’m sure you’ll love it as much [...]

Tom Yam Goong (spicy prawn soup)

As Asian soups go, I adore Malaysian Laksa – But (and it’s a huge but) it’s horrendously fattening – not to mention impossible to make properly. This Thai soup called Tom Yam Goong is much more manageable and pretty damn delicious. Who knew it would be so easy to make!? RECIPE:

Salmon On Spicy Noodles

I have eaten variations of this dish for many years. I love the spiciness of the noodles alongside the flavour of salmon. The two work perfectly together. It’s a pretty simple and quick dish to prepare and you can use whatever vegetables you like in the noodles. RECIPE:

Northern Thai Chicken Curry

This has a distinctive flavour of Northern Thailand. There’s a heavy use of ginger which is a characteristic of the region. The curry paste (Kua Red Paste) is also slightly different to the ususal red curry paste. The use of turmeric gives a stunning bright orange appearance. What isn’t so stunning is the bright orange [...]

Thai Stir Fry Minced Pork

This is a brilliant dish that just explodes with flavour. It has an amazing fragrant flavour that has just the right amount of spice for anyone. It’s one of the best Thai dishes I’ve cooked in a while. I strongly advise you to make the RED CURRY PASTE in advance. Minced pork is just one [...]
