Celebrate Thai New Year And Spice Up Your Life

 

 

Spice up your life this Thai New Year (April 13-15) and master the art of Thai cooking with the Blue Elephant range of authentic Thai ingredients.

Known as Songkran, Thai New Year is a lively celebration in which food plays a big part. Thai cuisine is considered by many to be among the best food in the world, so there's no better time to cook up a feast of flavoursome dishes to impress family and friends.

Blue Elephant is renowned for its Thai restaurants around the world and for its cookery school in Bangkok. Developed by Thai chefs, the Blue Elephant range offers experienced and new cooks the opportunity to create meals at home they would enjoy in Thailand.

Curry is an integral dish in Thai cuisine and by preparing several curries you can give everyone an opportunity to taste something new. Blue Elephant's pastes are delicious, original and come in medium and hot strengths; use Yellow Curry Paste to create a medium curry, Red or Green Curry Pastes for hot aromatic curries and Massaman Curry Paste for something a little different. All the pastes are easy to use and can be combined with meat, poultry and fish.

Sauces add new flavours to simple stir-fries and salads. To stir up a hot treat with added zing, simply grab a wok and slice up fresh vegetables or chicken before stir-frying with Thai Pepper Sauce or Oyster Sauce. Try serving Thai Crab Fishcakes with Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce on the side for a delicious hot/sweet dish that will surprise and delight guests.

Staple sauces for cooking include Fish Sauce, which is used in nearly all Thai curries, and Light Soya Sauce - great for stir-fries or as a dipping sauce for dumplings.

Made in Thailand and available in Waitrose stores across the UK, independent fine food retailers, as well as the Blue Elephant Restaurant in Fulham Broadway, London, the Blue Elephant Royal Thai Cuisine range has everything you need to enjoy the New Year celebrations and will be extended in Spring 2008 with a range of crackers and snacks. The range can also be purchased from www.bartspices.com
