Thai
Who doesn't love Thai food? Lighter and more fragrant than Indian, it's become hugely popular in recent years. But you don't have to get a takeaway to enjoy its authentic flavours: Delia's recipes include moreish little fishcakes, aromatic curries and zingy salads.
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 2Baked Thai Red Curry Chicken with Coriander Chutney
If you have some Thai Red Curry Paste to hand, this makes a very speedy supper dish. Serve with Spiced Pilau Rice with Nuts.
Serves 2Creole Prawns
As Creole cooking only ever uses green peppers (and the colour’s nice), I’ve included a fresh pepper here. Otherwise, the equivalent amount from a jar of roasted peppers can be used without detracting from the end result.
Serves 2 as a main coursePad Thai Noodles with Shrimps
A trip to Thailand inspired Delia to recreate this Asian classic when she got home ... and it was well worth it. Give it a try - it's not one of Thaland's most popular dishes for nothing!
Serves 4Hot and Sour Thai Chicken Broth
A Thai Tom Yum soup full of flavour and with hardly any fat, this lovely recipe is just as good made with prawns.
Serves 4-6 – makes 1½ pints (850 ml)Coconut Ice Cream With Lime Syrup
Coconut milk powder is a brilliant ingredient when making coconut ice cream and, along with the lime syrup, gives this refreshing dessert more than a little Thai flavour.
Makes 2 pints (1.2 litres)Lime and Mango Ice Cream
In Thailand, mango is served with lime wedges to squeeze over it, the citrus sharpness cutting through the rich, perfumed flesh of the mango. Here, Delia has combined them to create an ice cream that would be ideal at the end of a Thai meal.
Serves 6 as a starter or 4 as a main courseMarinated Chicken Satay with Peanut Satay Sauce
Anyone who's been to Thailand will be familiar with lovely chicken satay, served with spicy peanut sauce. Delia's version is quick, easy and extremely tasty.
Serves 4Chilled Lemon Grass and Coriander Vichyssoise
Although leeks are the traditional ingredient in a vichyssoise, the inclusion of lemon grass instead gives the soup a wonderful citrusy oriental flavour that really lends itself to serving chilled.
Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a starterAngel-hair Pasta with Thai Spiced Prawns
Lovely spicy flavours here: just fry the prawns with onions and garlic, tomatoes, lime, wine and Thai red curry paste, cook the finest of pasta, then combine it all for a really wonderful and easy supper dish.
