Thai flavour, chef precision
Thai recipes
Thai cooking is vivid and balanced: herbs, citrus, chilli, fish sauce, and sweetness kept in check. Christophe keeps that brightness and runs French technique underneath.
At seventeen he travelled through Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand with his parents, taking the old train from Bangkok to Singapore. The flavours stayed. What he took from Thailand is balance — sour, salty, sweet, and heat in the right proportion — and the confidence to let aromatics do real work before the sauce arrives.

Why trust it
These recipes treat Thai flavours with the same discipline as French classics: controlled heat, layered seasoning, and sauce logic shaped by Le Cordon Bleu training in cuisine, boulangerie, and patisserie, plus two-star Michelin kitchen experience.
Technique focus
Watch the balance of acid and salt, build aromatics patiently, control chilli heat in layers, and finish with herbs and citrus at the right moment.
Pantry cues
Fish sauce, lime, lemongrass, galangal, coconut milk, Thai basil, chillies, palm sugar, and rice-friendly sauces show up often.
Authentic Pad Thai with Shrimp and Chicken
This authentic pad thai is built the way Bangkok street stalls make it: sour tamarind sauce, funky dried shrimp, salty chai poh, and noodles with real wok char. Cook it in two portions over maximum heat for the best results. Ready in about 60 minutes and serves 4.
Green Papaya Salad with Crispy Spring Rolls (Som Tam Pao Thod)
This vibrant Thai street food salad combines shredded green papaya with a spicy-sweet-sour dressing and crispy pre-made spring rolls. You'll master the traditional mortar-and-pestle technique that makes restaurant-quality Som Tam at home. Takes 30 minutes total and serves 2-4 people with bold, refreshing flavors.
Thai Grilled Beef Salad (Yum Nua)
This authentic Thai beef salad balances salty, sour, sweet, and spicy flavors. You'll grill marinated steak until perfectly charred, then toss thin slices with halved cherry tomatoes, de-seeded cucumber half-moons, and whole fresh herb leaves in a zesty lime dressing.
Look for curries with clean heat, bright salads, and mains that want rice on the table. A small collection, growing over time. Browse the Thai recipes above, or find dishes ready to heat in the shop.
