If you’re looking for an easy starter, this recipe for butternut squash and chicken salad is a winner.

When it comes to mains, there are plenty of Thai food recipes that stand out. One of our favourites is coconut lentil soup with pak choi, a delicious vegetarian dish. This classic Thai dish is packed with flavour, thanks to our Thai seasoning blend. This spice mix makes the most of the fresh flavours of galangal, Thai holy basil and lemongrass to deliver a flavoursome punch.

Another way to use our Thai seasoning blend is in this recipe for prawn penang with sticky rice. Penang is an area in Malaysia where this dish originated from, but over the years it has had its own Thai spin put on it. Spicy chillies, zesty lemongrass, warming ginger and aromatic Thai holy basil are just some of the flavours of the curry, and which you’ll also find in many other Thai food recipes. A penang curry is thicker than other Thai curries, with a richer taste and creamier texture.
