About Sala Thai Kitchen

Authentic Thai flavours rooted in tradition, brought to life with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients right here in Britain.

You will be under the supervision of owner and executive chef, 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.
