I recently visited Laos for a couple of weeks and the food there is delicious. Very fresh, herby and not particularly spicy. I will be experimenting with recipes soon, but meanwhile here are a few snaps to inspire you to visit markets to buy your daily veg!

Nam Tha market

Herbals, as our guide called them!

Local market greens

Laap, or herby minced ducking this case

Chillies drying

Stir fry ingredients…

Choy sum, or local broccoli

River weed, local delicacy

Fast-food Lao style!
