1. Fairy Sat 06 Mar 2010 @ 16:27 Hi everyone
I love almost all Thai food, but one thing that i miss is the Thai Basil. I've tried growing it and I did have one really good bush, but then it died and I have been able to get another to grow like it since. I know that there are many types of Thai basil and Holy basil is the best for Thai cooking, but where do you source yours?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest Regards

2. sheila conolly Fri 23 Oct 2009 @ 13:09 Working and living in Cambodia but was home for three month in Ireland and glued to your American series. Worked 3 yeasr in States as well with time betweeen Boston and Texas and miss the food a lot. Fav was you sneeking you party with you to the cowboy camp!

Here in Siem Reap, we find it very hard to do anything with out MSG in a stock or everything in fact and garlic, either already chopped and deep fried and sprinked on top of a soup or just chopped finely and added and cooked to make the stock. Hope there is someway i can see the remaining series. Cambodian food would rock your world!!!
Continued success,
