Let me begin today by sharing a quote from Michael Pollan that resonates deeply with me: “Don’t eat anything your great-great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.” This thought-provoking advice prompts me to reflect on the meals of my childhood, specifically the dishes prepared by my grandmother. Can I recall the flavours, the smells, the warmth of her kitchen? Absolutely! It brings back a flood of memories that transport me to a time when food was as much about nurturing as it was about nourishment.

I don't know about you, but I've been enjoying Watercress for many years now, and let me tell you, this incredible vegetable has found a permanent place in our kitchen! In Thailand they call it ‘Pat Naam’, which translates to ‘Water Vegetable.’ It’s a staple at my local fresh foods market, always readily available and remarkably affordable. It's almost too good to be true, but then I stumbled upon a fascinating claim: a source I encountered proclaimed Watercress to be the world's healthiest vegetable.

When it comes to tantalising our taste buds, Thai cuisine knows no bounds. Bursting with vibrant flavours, Thai dishes owe much of their magic to the secret ingredients wielded by Thai chefs - the powerful herbs and spices!
