And... breathe...

If you have a head cold and feel like your sinuses are filled with concrete I highly recommend making this Thai sweet chilli dipping sauce. The smell of chillies and garlic boiling in vinegar and sugar cleared my head beautifully. I suspect it may have evacuated half the street too.

When it came to photographing it for the book it looked exactly like what it is - a bowl of gloop. So I chucked a few things in the food processor and made these little spicy chicken fritters to go with it.

I suspect it would be very nice slathered on a baked brie too.
