Eastern feasting at its very best with hints of Japanese, Chinese and Thai to enjoy!
Serves 1Chinese Stir-fried Chicken with Broccoli and Mushrooms
Chinese-style recipes are often perfect for one, because many of them are made at top speed. The trouble is that Westerners are often inclined to add a little extra cooking time, and the end result can be just that little bit overdone.
Serves 2Thai Salmon Filo Parcels
For waist-watchers and the health conscious, the growing popularity of filo pastry is, I'm sure, warmly welcomed. But I also suspect we could be in danger of overkill, so I like to use it only where it's really appropriate – like here, where a parcel
Serves 2Chinese Crispy Beef Stir-fry
Chopsticks at the ready: like all stir-fries, this flavourful recipe is quick and easy to make and is a great way to eke out a piece of steak for two people.
Serves 2 as a light lunchSoba Noodle Salad with Soy and Citrus Dressing
Soba noodles are made with buckwheat and are traditionally served either hot in soups or cold in salads. The salad version is my favourite and you can, of course, use any green salad leaves in this recipe: rocket and young spinach leaves would be ver

Serves 4Spiced turkey in a creamed coconut sauce

Serves 2Dhal Curry
Dhal is simply the Indian word for lentils. The best kind to use for this are the red split lentils which most supermarkets stock.
Serves 2Hung Shao pork with steamed greens and fragrant rice
Perfect for Chinese New Year, you won’t believe how easy this is and how wonderful it tastes. You don’t have to eat the skin on the pork, but its gelatinous properties are very important to the flavour of the finished dish.
Serves 2, or 4 as a starter.Lobster and coconut soup with lemongrass and ginger
This quick cheat recipe is inspired by Thai flavours of lemongrass and ginger, giving you a wonderful Oriental supper that's quick and easy to make.
Serves 2Vietnamese beef patties
Supper for two? Go to the Far East, or at least bring it into your kitchen with these brilliant little patties. It has to be said they also work just as well with minced pork or lamb.
