Crispy catfish and mango salad: rather epic. The catfish is so crispy that my first reaction is “Are you sure there’s fish in it?” Cos it feels like tempura batter. The combination of mangoes, peanuts and crunchy catfish makes it the perfect Thai salad.  Crying tiger beef: very, very good. Almost like the Thai version of the Vietnamese bo luc lac. Don’t forget the...

la tarte des demoiselles Tatin
This is possibly the most photogenic thing I have ever made. I am so proud of myself! I randomly made it because I’m staying in a house with very good knives and a cast iron skillet and suddenly remembered that the tarte Tatin is made in a cast iron skillet.
