Celebrate Chinese New Year with Cottage Delight

Chinese New Year falls on 23 January 2012, and we have some delicious recipes and serving suggestion ideas to help you to create your own oriental inspired dishes at home.

Try our recipe for Stir-Fry Thai Chilli Prawn Noodles or create a light, salad with our Toasted Sesame & Ginger Dressing or Coriander, Lime & Thai Basil Dressing. Perfect for recovering from all the over-indulgence at Christmas time and using up left overs too!

If you are looking for an easy supper solution, try marinating fish fillets, chicken, beef or pork in our Coriander &  Black Pepper Marinade or Oriental Ginger Marinade. A great way to get ahead on preparations if you need a meal in a hurry. Simply coat the meat, fish or vegetables in the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight. Then fry or grill when needed and serve with an express salad or stir-fry vegetables.

For all you serious foodies, our Thai Creative Cooks kit is perfect. Complete with cooking essentials including Thai Mussamum Curry Paste and Kaffir Lime Leaves and some great recipe ideas to try. Or experiment with our Thai Lovers selection which also includes Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce and Thai Fragrant Rice.

We hope that these ideas will inspire you to join in with the Chinese New Year festivities – why not share your recipe ideas with us on Facebook or Twitter, we’d love to hear from you.

Happy New Year!
