More info

This month we've got two dishes that hail from the north of Thailand but are now eaten throughout the country. To begin, a spicy pork salad known as larp muang moo which is served with crunchy lettuce leaves and cucumber. This is the Lanna version (a kingdom of Thailand that existed between the 13th and 18th century) and is flavoured with toasted chilli but more unusually a variety of aromatic spices including long pepper, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and mace. For the main course we’ve got gai yang - Thailand’s delicious version of grilled chicken served with sweet chilli sauce and a tangy tamarind sauce.

First of the new World Kitchen Explorer kit was a hit for both adults and kids. Left the sweet chili sauce off of two of the chicken legs to adjust for the kids' palate. Sauces and flavors tasted very similar to what we've had in Thailand and other parts of South East Asia. Great start!

I’m sure I should write more than “omnomnomom” when praising good food, but that genuinely was the noise made by me and my partner when eating these. My son enjoyed the filling too, couldn’t convince him to eat a lettuce leaf still

Not something I would normally go for, but this definitely exceeded expectations. From the tasty lettuce wraps to the sweet chilli chicken, each dish complemented the other and were all delicious

Just delightful! A fabulous feast enjoyed by all our family adults and children a like. Was a bit daunted to begin with by the amount of spice packets, but instructions are so simple and easy to follow. Thank you!

Great Flavour fresh lettuce parcels with a nice kick of spice. These went down so well reminded us of our travels in Thailand. So easy to make and fun to eat.
