Today I am in Chiang Rai in North Thailand in the warmth of Asia at the Le Meridan resort. I am here witha dear friend Carole and we are taking a few days to warm up and chill out before our bike riding adventure in Laos.
Reflecting back on May And my focus on cooking I learnt some great new recipes and skills such as pastry making, chocolate souffle, filleting fish and several techniques to serve fish as well as trying a few more difficult dishes from some of my favorite cookbooks. A great way to spend my time and be able to focus lots of time doing something I enjoy.
I also visited the Good Food and Wine show in Melbourne and did a celebrity chef session with Gary and George from Masterchef fame! Those guys have really it made!
So for the next 3 weeks we will be immersing in the local Laos culture and cuisine whilst pedaling our bikes across more than 600kms of beautiful, mountainous countryside. Perhaps it will be good to sweat off some of that good food in May as well.
Meanwhile we are doing a few of my favorite things here in Thailand... Massage, eating Thai food and Meeting the beautiful, friendly Thai people.....
