Wok on Baby…. Easy Pad Thai
I’m approached a lot these days to do so much stuff. You know for one reason or another I don’t and can’t do it all! But this Easy Pad Thai was one I said yes to!
BUT when I was approached by Nourish, they asked me to look at a new book which launched on 17th August and I got a little excited.
You know the easy peasy lemon squeezy ethos is quick, from scratch, easy recipes?
Well hello Easy Pad Thai!
We all have a Wok lurking somewhere I’m sure. So why not use it?
The wok has been an essential piece of equipment in Asian homes for centuries, yet despite this accent linage, the wok fits perfectly into today’s western style kitchens.
So lets do this!
Books
So I have received a few copies of Nicola Graimes new book ‘I Love My Wok’ and I have reviewed.
I have to say I really do like it, you know me honest! And always if I don’t like it I don’t blog it – it’s that simple.
This book showcases simple, beautiful, delicious recipes that can all be made in the Wok. And let’s be careful here, let’s not just think about tasty healthy suppers!
The wok is a tremendous tool in the kitchen, we are talking soups, salads and sides too.
So check this book out (or have a go at winning one – see under) and rediscover how you can use just one pan to make lots of dishes.
The book is really great and offers over 100 recipes
Some of my faves that I’ll be trying are
Yakisoda Noodles
Aromatic Chilli Bean Lamb
Sunshine Chicken Stir-Fry – gosh there are so many nice ones.
