The jungle curry with no coconut and no apologies. Cold smoked salmon dropped into a fiercely spiced broth at the last minute. Smokey, just cooked, exactly right.
Aged beef cheek braised low and slow in Farang's house gaeng gatti paste. Rich, warming and sharp where it needs to be.
A mushroom stir-fry worth making. Field, shiitake, king oyster and enoki hit with wok heat, coconut milk, Thai basil and cashews. The dish I cook at home after a foraging trip.
Tiger prawn yellow curry with coconut milk, green beans and makrut lime. The recipe the Evening Standard ran during the bedbug crisis - and yes, that is a real story.
Roast pumpkin and Bramley apple in a rich massaman curry with peanuts and raisins. Warming, spiced and fully vegan. The one that comes out when the weather turns.
Thai green curry mussels with krachai, coconut cream and pickled ginger and cucumber. The dish Frank makes the drive from the Cotswolds for, every time.
Aged beef cheeks braised low and slow in coconut cream with lemongrass, galangal and gaeng gari paste until spoon-soft. A Farang restaurant dish. Serve with jasmine rice and fish sauce with chillies at the table.
