Green Papaya Salad

   

Traveling through Thailand a couple of years ago I tried my first green papaya salad – I loved it and ordered Som Tam everywhere I went – minus the fish sauce and shrimp paste of course. For me Thai cuisine really ticks all my boxes.

Polenta with roast or char-grilled vegetables

Peasant food goes back to my roots. Every time I cook polenta on a retreat I say to myself, I must cook this more often for myself, I love polenta! It's soft, creamy texture feels so nurturing and comforting through the cool winter nights. Married with caramelised sweet roast vegetables
