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!

Here they are, cooked in the AirFryer as stated earlier. These samosas are made using leftover spring roll skins. I had never made samosas before, although the recipe is my own, I went on YouTube to learn how to fold them! I am happy with how well they have turned out and the best bit...no deep frying!!!
