Come and join me whilst I try to recreate some of my favourite Thai and Vietnamese dishes.

The menu is very easy to adapt to either a vegan/vegetarian diet but please let me know when you book and I will make sure that I cater for you and replace any meat dishes with an equally scrummy alternative. Please do not book this event if you have any kind of nut allergy, nuts feature very heavily in this menu as does coriander.

Pickled nibbles and Vietnamese crackers whilst you settle in.

A selcetion of dim sum.

Chicken satay - It's taken me years to perfect this recipe, the marinade is what makes this dish sing, lemongrass, garlic, turmeric, coriander, peanuts, soya sauce, sugar, tamarind, onion, chillies and ginger and marinated into the chicken.

Salmon with ginger and red chllies - this is a brilliantly simple South East Asian recipe, which is traditionally cooked in a clay pot and served still sizzling straight to the table. The sticky and sweet caramel sauce is infused with wonderful aromas from ginger and chilli (can be substituted for aubergine)

Chicken thai basil coconut curry - thai basil is one of my favourite herbs, this aromatic dish takes me straight back to a sunkissed thai beach (I wish!).

Thailand and Vietnam are not known for puddings but they do drink and grow coffee, there will be some fresh fruit, homemade icecream and a dessert featuring coffee as an ingredient.
