I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Crisps (Potato Chips)



Crisps (Potato Chips).

I didn't think it was possible for the girls to be excited about anything but chocolate but they love these.

Equipment:
Mandoline Slicer.

Preparation: 
Slice 4-5 large potatoes on the finest setting.

Leave the the potato slices to soak in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
Pet dry on clean tea towels.

Deep fry in batches in vegetable oil.

Season with salt and anything that you may fancy.
I left one bowl just plain salted, the other salt and pepper and the last salt/pepper and paprika.
