Windsor Deli: Thai Herbal Soup

Alan and I went to Thailand in June.

Belated honeymoon (a year late); needed holiday from the deli and in desperate need of some Vitamin D (fluro lights for a year don't count!).

One of the main things that we wanted to do was go to a Thai Cookery School.

We learnt some gorgeous dishes from wonderful Thai Chefs and this one is my favourite, Thai Herbal Soup or Kaeng Leang.

The biggest tip for this dish: Buy Black Tiger Prawns, they are perfect for this dish.

Coeliac Awareness Week 13-20 March

I love food and always have so when I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease last September and told that I could not eat any food containing Gluten for the rest of my life I was left feeling numb. Just 6 months later and after a few disasters and days going hungry, I can honestly say that I am now eating healthier food and really enjoying experimenting with cooking. While it is the end of many foods for me it is the beginning in a much bigger sense. I call it my 'rediscovery of food' - I think more about what I'm eating and the time spent preparing each meal is savored.

One of my biggest inspirations is Shauna James Ahern who celebrates all aspects of life reminding me to do the same and not get weighed down thinking about what I can't eat. Her blog also has amazing lists of resources.
