What's cooking

London has every restaurant imaginable, ranging from those with great wholesome pub fare to some where you pay a small fortune because a famous TV chef occasionally fires up the burners. Our favourite, during our time in the city, was a little place called Manee Thai, where I earned the nickname 'Bigboy'.

Now that we were in Thailand our number 1 priority was discovering more about it's cuisine. We found a school, located in small house, and along with 3 others spent the morning learning about ingredients and making meals. Sanusi, our teacher, had a love for food but seemed to be a jack of all trades. I was impressed with the way he kept things simple and let the ingredients do the talking. We both had a great morning (I think Jackie even more than me) but after testing the 6 dished we created were pretty stuffed.
