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.
