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!

Peri Peri Pork.


Peri Peri Pork.


I find that when it's cold outside, a hot and spicy meal is a must. These tender pork steaks are wonderfully punchy having benefited from the hot, spicy and slightly sweet peri peri marinade. The pork steaks are cooked in the Airfryer and this seems to guarantee their juiciness. I am serving these peri peri pork steaks in wraps, accompanied by spicy tomato relish and crispy wedges (not forgetting an extra hit of fresh chillies).


In a large bowl, put in

-800g pork loin steaks,

-4 chopped red chillies,

-4 chopped garlic,

-1tbsp fresh thyme,

-1tbsp fresh oregano,

-4 bay leaves,

-1/2tsp black pepper,

-1tsp sea salt,

-2tsp paprika,

-3tbsp soy sauce,

-2tbsp balsamic vinegar,

-2tbsp olive oil.

Mix well and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours.

Cook in the Airfryer at 180c for 10-12 minutes.

Alternatively place under a hot grill.
