This weekend will be the Fried Fish with Turmeris and Dill ( Cha Ca ). It looks so simple on the TV and Rick mentions it was life changing for him. Lets see how it matches up. I'll update the notes and add pictures during the weekend

Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey

Now this is a cookbook to die for. Linh came across the ABC show last week, so she rushed out to buy a copy. On Saturday we tried the Khmer Pork, Coconut and Pineapple Curry along with the Cured Beef Salad with Lemongrass, peanuts and basil. So amazing ! The Taste was sensational.

Even the kids loved it. Now the task will be to keep going through the recipe book and making the rest. We'll keep you posted.

Linh is waiting for the DVD to be released in June from the ABC, but for the time being we'll have to watch it on the TV as well as read the book
