NOURISHING NOSH RETURNS FROM ASIA

I can't tell you how inspiring my Asian culinary journey was.  I was wowed on so many different levels by the food experiences.  

It was a divine kaleidoscope of colours, tastes, smells & sounds that I hope will remain with me for some time to come.  The food we ate was truly unique and very different to Asian food that I have eaten before.

I want to transport you there with dishes like simple sticky rice and smokey eggplant jeow we made & shared with the mung hill tribe in far Northern Laos and the Cambodian Amok trey, their delicious national aromatic fish curry, which we ate at every opportunity and had the pleasure of cooking in a Siem Reap cooking class.

Crispy fried crickets with garlic and chilli sold by street vendors in Cambodia, amazing pork sate with Javanese and Balinese peanut sauces at a cooking school in Bali, chicken stuffed lemongrass stalks in Laos and glass noodle, dried beef and herb salad on the streets of Hanoi were just a few of the scrumptious dishes we enjoyed on our travels.

We were humbled by the people and their self sufficiency, generosity and positivity.  Our journey was punctuated by smiling faces and quick wit.  Their incredible attitudes reflected in their unique cuisine.

I attended cooking classes wherever I could and learnt some new techniques and flavour combinations.  I collected many delicious recipes from eating on the streets and in some amazing restaurants.  I cooked in the mountains with minority ethnic tribes and learnt what it really means to live off the land.

I am ready to share some inspiring recipes with you so please book in for one or even two of the wonderful August classes.

I had some beautiful aprons hand made in Laos by a lovely lady who sells her goods at the night markets.  I think she thought all her Christmases had come at once when I put in the order - needless to say I was also chuffed that Nourishing Nosh was able to work with the Laos locals.  

To view the apron and be in the running to own your own for FREEEE, jump onto the home page.

So much to say, so little time.  I will be back with daily waffles.  I hurt my hand whilst away and could not type or write so I am full of info that needs to come out.


For all the newest cooking classes which by the by are totally GLUTEN FREE in August jump onto the timetable.
