Goodies from the Oriental cash & carry...

OK its been a while - the Hoo Hing in Enfield is like an Alladins cave for me. All the rows of weird and wonderful ingredients from Asia that I would have no idea what to do with.

I did find these which I'm going to try out over the next week. The soups (tom yum & tom ka ) seems pretty quick to make but do contain some ingredients that don't sound very Thai lets say...

And I've never ever tried a Yellow curry so looking forward to that. There might even be a new spice kit in the making.

SUMMER IS SURELY COMING...get the barbie out

I have just come up with some Bar-B-Q marinades... they where tested out on Jubilee weekend. All of got positive feedback so...they're good to go. We have Tandoori which will be mixed with yogurt. Chines 5 Spice which is sweet and tangy, and can be used on chicken or pork. And Satay which has optional peanut butter for a authentic taste. I'll post some photos of the finished packs asap.
