I am really enjoying using herbs in all aspects of my Thai and pan Asian cooking. I can’t emphasise enough the difference it has made to my dishes. However I still at times struggle to keep my herbs fresh and alive for longer than five minutes. I currently live in Ko Samui and love buying all my veggies from the local market in Bo Phut. I am really careful...

Basil is great herb; in fact until recently it was one of the only fresh herbs I would regularly use at home. I really love its unique planty smell. The thing I find really great about this wonderful herb is that it does really well as a plant sat on the windowsill.

One of my new year’s resolutions was to use herbs more in my cooking, often I would think herbs aren’t necessary as they’re often expensive and you always have to...

Serves: 3-4 Preparation and cooking time: 20-25 minutes. This is an inspired recipe from a mixture of far eastern dishes which I really enjoy, it has a slight sweetness from Cantonese cooking and sticky and spicy flavours found in Thai and Malaysian food. It is very easy and has simple everyday ingredients but that can turn of bland chicken dinner into a...

A nice and saucy Beef in Black Bean Sauce Serves: 4 Preparation and Cooking time: 20-25 minutes I love this dish; it is one of my favourites to get from the Chinese takeaway. It is such an easy and well loved Cantonese style dish it I think it should be as popular to make at home. My version is inspired by my local Chinese takeaway but with a focus on making in...
