Phuket 

Hottest Accomodation : Ayara Resort and Spa Kamala

Finding luxury digs without the price tag to match, in an unspoiled part of Phuket is like asking a simpleton to define the word infundibulum. From the  glowing testimonials and photo-shopped pictures provided by resorts to the impossible to please but happy to vent crowd on travel review sites, making a decision on where to stay can be mission impossible. The island gets a bit of an unfair bad wrap due to party central Patong when there is so much more to the paradise that is Phuket.

A Note From Mrs Walsh

I'd like to take credit for this fabulously festive nosh, by telling you some complex story about the time I was cooking in Tuscany with my Nona and we'd run out of risotto rice so therefore created this amazing dish with some coral rice we had laying around the villa, but alas I would be lying. It is not my recipe, it is the creation of my friend Paul, who I look up to as my Obi Wan Kenobi for culinary wisdom and guidance.

Mrs Walsh’s Cooking Cooking School For Teens

When I moved out of home the most I could make was coffee and even that was of questionable quality. I have devised a great starter course for teenagers wanting to learn a few great dishes to get off and running on the road to culinary independence. In my specially devised class for teens I will teach the simple techniques necessary to create a three-course masterpiece that’s not just staples of a healthy diet but something a little bit special.

White chocolate Panna Cotta

Unlike a traditional Panna Cotta, this one has a creamy, firmer texture and tastes sweater than success! Perfect for making pre-dinner and setting in the fridge prior to the main event. Beware of going for seconds it's richer than Gina Reinhardt.

Matching Wine: Veuve Clicquot

What Mrs Walsh Says:

Need I say more... It's the silly season so start getting silly! Veuve says "I love you and think you're special" Sparkling wine says "I like you but not that much"

The Tuesday Tune Up Tea

I was going to cook a three coarse masterpiece with matching wines last night and thought hold the phone it's only Monday! Three coarse with accompanying wine Monday, means hangover Tuesday then horay for hump day Wednesday, a thirsty Thursday followed by freaky Friday, a sorry state Saturday and salutary Sunday. This week  my Tuesday Blog for an awesome start to the week is the Mrs Walsh very delicious veggie burger. Even if the wheels do still fall off by hump day at least you know you'll be looking great when they are rolling down the hill!

Very Delicious Veggie Burgers

School For Kids

Do your kids love to cook?

Mrs Walsh’s Cooking School for kids is a perfect mini master chef experience for all little prospective foodies & budding chefs this school holidays. Kids will have a fun filled day creating their own morning tea of berry delicious muffins, then moving on to the delectable lunch including fabulous frittatas, mama’s home made pastas and delectable deserts using premium organic produce.

Sang Choi Bao is an awesome dish but often has chicken or pork. The great thing about this recipe is that you place the prawns on last meaning there is a vegetarian version without making a separate batch. You can add just about anything you like in place of the prawns, such as rare tuna, salmon, crab or lobster making it more versatile than Jeffery Rush.
