I know I did. I remember being told my half Thai cousin Angela who was born and bred in Thailand, that the secret to authentic Thai food is to always use fresh herbs and spices. My Aunty Sheree moved to Thailand when I was a teenager so I am blessed being shown a few Thai cooking tips over the years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure I can buy Thai red curry paste in a jar but we all know that what makes Thai food so awesome is that zing of fresh herbs and freshly ground spices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped
