I think it was when they made the fish head curry. He did long slices of deseeded cucumber, chopped tomatoes ,coriander and a couple of other things and served it as a side dish with the curry. Guess I will have to give up

What country was he in!I've got his Far Eastern book and will look it up.There's no reference to fish head curry in the index.

I checked the index of his older 1995 book, 'Taste of the Sea', and Fish Head Curry is not there either.neither is there a salad that approximates your description.

Sorry was walking the dog. he was in Malaysia. Sounds like it may be the one you are talking about David4. He did it so fast and I only realised how good it sounded when he finished it.I remember the chilli and the shallots so it must have been the one. I should have recorded the programme. Think I may need to buy the book.Thanks

The book is great.There is a totally delicious modern Vietnamese dish of duck, star anise and orange juice that I could eat every night.

Can remember when I met hubby 22 years ago and I was introduced to curries being fascinated by star anise. Living in the Hokianga my curry cooking can be very frustrating due to lack of ingredients. Trips to Auckland always include spice or ingredient shopping. I have seen some of your recipes and you obviously are an awesome cook.

Thanks for the kind words IOne.It must be frustrating not having easy access to curry ingredients, although I guess the climate up in the Hokianga would enable you to grow things like curry leaves, kaffir lime, galangal, tumeric and maybe even the edible variety of ginger.
I think Khyber Spice Traders ("Spice Invaders") sell by mail order!Here is their web site:
