John Torode’s Asia : John returns to Thailand, the home of his favourite Asian cuisine and where it all began for him 20 years ago. John delightedly explores the markets of Bangkok and helps a hotel chef prepare alms for the local monks – an overwhelming experience of spices and spirituality. Reunited with a mentor from 20 years ago, old friend Pip once again schools and inspires John with a chilli infused concoction. Invigorated John shares his take on a classic Thai curry with hotel staff, declaring his Bangkok adventure a great success.
