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!

Almonds and Cranberry Cookies.


Almonds and Cranberry Cookies.


These cookies are gloriously delicious with a texture that of a biscuit and a shortbread. They are perfect as an afternoon treat with a hot cup of tea to ward off the chills. Extremely easy, a one pot recipe but tastes amazing and inadvertently gluten free.


In a saucepan, put in,

-200g caster sugar, with

-150g butter,

-pinch of salt.

Cook, stirring constantly, on low heat until the mixture has melted and is smooth.

Take the pan off the heat, add

-250g ground almonds.

-200g dried cranberries

Stir well to combine.

Divide into 25 equal portions.

Place onto baking trays, lined with baking paper, 3cm apart.

Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.


Bake in 180c fan forced oven for 8 minutes.

The cookies should still be extremely soft.

Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
