This vibrant and delicious pilau rice is perfect on its own as a vegan meal or served with other dishes. Add some egg for extra protein and some mild chillies for an extra zing!

A Jungle curry is a Thai dish which traditionally would be made from foraged ingredients. This actually covers a very wide range of items, from river fish and wild boar to bamboo shoots and lotus shoots, but the main criteria for the curry is that it must be very hot! We have used our Indonesian Padang blend…

Wetha See Byan is a richly flavoured but incredibly easy dry pork curry, one where you’ll discover you already have all the ingredients! Well, if you keep some lemongrass and lime leaves in the freezer as we do!

This udon noodle dish can be cooked with any ingredients, including thinly sliced beef or prawns. Use all those sauces you have in your larder, plus red soy bean paste.

This Japanese-style soup uses lovely thick udon noodles and Shichimi Togarashi, the traditional 7-spice blend (widely available).

We can’t pretend we have created a new genre of cooking with our Spicy Veggie Soup! But this is a delicious warming version, perfect for the whole family, with either coconut milk or a creamy dairy version.

Picadillo is a delicious and quite unusual dish using a mixture of pork and beef. It is lovely served with rice, but any leftovers can also be used as a filling for tacos or empanadas.

Lemon Chicken must be on everyone’s list for a take-away! Tangy and sweet at the same time, it works in perfect tandem with a simple egg fried rice, which handily uses the egg yolks not required in the batter!

This lentil recipe lends itself well to a spoonful of warming spices at this time of year! Keep it veggie by all means, but if you have some ham scraps then stir them in too.

Wonton soup is a popular street food in Singapore and elsewhere. Use our recipe for wontons, and then create a simple soup with chicken stock and pak choi.

This corn soup is a little like a spicy chowder. I came across a recipe using cream cheese and added this to a basic vegetable soup with extra sweetcorn and a spoonful of our Mexican mild spice.
