Thai restaurant Farang is featured in a fundraising cookbook aimed at combating racism against Asian communities.
Head chef of the Highbury restaurant, Sebby Holmes, has contributed one of his best loved dishes to 'Recipes against Racism', which hopes to highlight the culinary and cultural diversity across Asia.
The downloadable cookbook is a response to the dramatic increase in anti-Asian hate crimes since the start of the pandemic. Hackney-based creators Claire Sachiko and Lex Shu launched it in collaboration with leading Asian and Asian-influenced restaurants and all proceeds go to End the Virus of Racism and Stop Hate UK to support a 24-hour reporting hotline, support for mental health support and a guide to legal aid.
