Chef Thippi Rashleigh's
Cook The Flavours You Remember
Authentic Thai flavours rooted in tradition — brought to life with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients right here in Britain.
Food, People & the Heart of Thailand
Thippawan Rashleigh, Thippi grew up in a small village northeastern of Thailand, Chaiyaphum, with food as her love language. Now based in St Albans, she brings the soul of her hometown to every dish — using Thai herbs and spices, seasonal produce, and locally sourced ingredients to create flavours that are both deeply authentic and beautifully of-the-moment. Thippi is passionate about sustainability: cook what you have at home, in the right portions, and create no waste.
Her three passions — people, food, and yoga — shape everything she does. Whether she's cooking for first-time visitors or old friends, running a class, or writing her debut cookbook, Thippi's mission is always the same: connection through food.
