Summary

Enjoy this collection of laksa and other comforting noodle bowl recipes and get to know this popular south-east Asian dish in all its guises.

Laksa is a delicious noodle soup consisting of thick noodles, swimming in a warming broth, packed full of fresh and fragrant ingredients with added toppings to add vibrant colour and interesting texture. For fans of spicy yet light-to-eat and reviving dishes, laksa really hits the spot.

The origins of this often fiery dish are unclear, but it hails from Peranakan culture, which is based in southeast Asia and is a combination of Chinese, Malay and Indonesian influences. Which is why you can find anything from mild 'Chinese' type curries to sour tamarind varieties in these recipes.

Curry laksa is the most often referred to type of noodle soup and is made from a coconut milk and curry paste base. Creamy, often fiery, intense flavours, with lashings of fresh chilli. Whereas Assam laksa is a much lighter version, made with a fragrant broth at its heart, full of tamarind and ginger flavours. Penang laksa is another version made with a tangy, sour fish broth.

Slurp your way through this fantastic collection of recipes for laksa and other Asian-inspired noodle bowl recipes and find a dish to satisfy all of your cravings.

    A nerdy farmer—and doctor with expertise in nutrition—provides insight into how best to prepare and savor vegetables while recounting his journey in building an organic vegetable farm and discovering the family that farmed the same land some 200 years ago. 
  
Dr. Michael Compton shares his passionate approach to savoring vegetables daily from across eight plant families: the Brassicas, the Alliums, the Legumes, the Chenopods, the Aster Greens, the Umbellifers, the Cucurbits, and the Nightshades. Trading in city life for an old stone house and a fertile field in the scenic and historic Hudson Valley, New York, Compton built a compact, organic-certified vegetable, fruit, and flower farm. Sharing the joy and proud successes—like selling piles of gorgeous rainbow chard at the farmers market—as well as funny personal admissions—like failing at spinach every year and crying over stolen cabbage—you will discover the nutritive properties of numerous vegetables and be inspired to savor them as Compton does. In building his farm, Compton uncovered who farmed his fertile land long before him, coming to feel kinship with the Delamater family by understanding how they farmed and ate some 200 years ago. 
  
As a doctor of lifestyle medicine, prevention, and psychiatry, Compton shares lighthearted scientific facts, including why onions make us cry and beets can make our pee pink, while giving nutritional facts and “Free Health Advice.” And as a farmer, he recounts his delights in growing a bounty of clean, delicious, and nutritious food for himself and others. You might even find yourself wanting to test the greenness of your thumbs or determining whether or not you, too, are a natural-born berry picker.

    Who has time to cook gourmet meals that call for 2-3 hours of prep time in the kitchen? 
Who has time to research advanced culinary degree level cooking techniques? 
Who wants to waste time on a diet that is impossible to follow permanently? 
Who wants to follow recipes from authors who don't know the first thing about fat loss? 
The answer? NOBODY! 
This is the MAIN reason diets and nutrition plans are failing you. 
This is the reason why you end up putting the weight you lost back on and it's the reason you continue to "Yo-Yo" diet while feeling frustrated and helpless. 
And it's for these reasons that I had to find a solution for myself and for you. 
The Mediterranean Diet for Beginners was designed as an easy-to-follow guide to the most common foods that influence your body’s health. 
Why Mediterranean Diet is different from others 
 Most popular and trendy weight loss programs fail because they are so complex and demanding. They ask you to... 
- Completely change your diet and remove all of the foods that you love in order to lose weight. 
- Adhere to strict, intense exercise programs that cause you to lose weight quickly, and uncomfortably. 
- Overhaul your entire lifestyle, from work to leisure, making it really inconvenient for you to lose weight. 
This book is composed of only the simplest and most effective habits that you can seamlessly integrate into your life so that you can lose weight and keep it off for good this time.

    St Aidan: a cosy Cornish village where friendships are made for life and it’s always cocktail hour somewhere…The Little Cornish Kitchen is going on tour! 
When internet sensation ‘Cressida Cupcake’ has a soggy bottomed TV fiasco and faces bake-off backlash she jumps at the chance to spend some time hiding out in St Aidan, dog sitting for her brother. 
Picturesque Seaspray Cottage is meant to be Cressy Hobson’s port in the storm but with her blog sponsors having fled and her book deal gone sideways her funds are running low and she’s forced to turn to the locals for help. Soon her quiet weeks in Cornwall are filled with chasing sheep, saving the local retirement village, taking The Little Cornish Kitchen into people’s homes for baking nights…and keeping vigilant guard against romance. 
The one and only time Cressy lost her head to love was over a decade ago while in St Aidan, and she won’t be making the same mistake again – a feat easier said than done when Ross Bradbury looks even better a decade on…and every step she takes seems to put him in her path! 
In the top tier of romantic fiction, this rural comedy set in a small town is a holiday comfort read. Cressy Hobson's cooking adventures and food-filled journey make for a delightful read. 
For fans of Cathy Bramley (The Sunrise Sisterhood), Caroline Roberts (The Seaside Cocktail Campervan), Heidi Swain (The Summer Fair), Jill Mansell (Should I Tell You?), and Jo Thomas (Keeping a Christmas Promise).
