Hey Guys,

My name is Shelma Dei, my love for food stems from my childhood and also being rather fussy when it comes to food.  

I am very passionate about food and love to create dishes that spring into mind.  I love to experiment with different ingredients, often things you wouldn’t expect to put together.   

When it comes to food from the Far East there was a time when I had no clue what Thai cuisine was all about, and I could not name a single dish. Now I absolutely love certain Thai dishes & of course Japanese food.

I stumbled across an ingredient called palm sugar & was intrigued. I googled what it was used for, and low and behold it can be used in Thai dishes.  

This month I decided to try out a Thai curry with my own take on it, using herbs like turmeric, galangal, coriander, lemongrass. 

Thai dishes are delicious and full of flavour with a sour, salty and sweet flavour on one plate. The colours are so vibrant and appealing which will have you wanting more. 

I was thoroughly pleased with the result of this month’s dish and I would recommend that you have a go at making the dish. You don’t have to only use Monkfish, you can opt for prawns, mussels or even chicken. 

You won’t be disappointed; once you have a plate, you will feel as though you are in the sunny, busy streets of Bangkok, eating fragrant authentic Thai curry.
