This is not intended to be a cooking website.It is a collection of recipes some I created, some from my nan, friends and some from chefs which Ive made notes to help me remember them.
Think of this as a collation of all my scraps of paper, notebooks etc
When made last time, I used green beans instead of carrot and also left out the fish sauce. I didn’t have time to marinade so made and cooked. Used a whole tin of coconut milk. To make it a wet curry.
