“I come from a strong Thai/Chinese family where cooking and eating have always been a focal point of family life. My parents had always cooked traditional Thai and Chinese dishes throughout my childhood which I helped prepare and cook from about the age of seven.

My early childhood memory was being woken up at 4 am to prepare food to feed the monks at my local temple, which we would share after morning prayers.

My mum was the first person to really teach me to cook traditional Thai and Chinese dishes passed on to her from my grandma. My aunt was also very influential in teaching me to cook and driving my passion for food. She worked as a chef in the Thai Royal kitchen so knew how to cook excellent dishes and present them well.

When I got married and moved to the UK in 2001, I began to learn to cook more western and British food which I mainly taught myself through cookery books adding my own Asian twist.

I have always loved to cook learning many Asian dishes from a young age. As I have got older I have found that I have become more creative taking inspiration from many different cultures.”

Now my son is older and I have more time.
