Blinis aren't hard to make so why do they only get served at posh parties? These ones are made with three types of creme fraiche.]]> http://laythetable.com/snacks/blinis-with-forman-field-london-cure-salmon/feed/ 0 http://laythetable.com/reviews/chilli-sauce-showdown/ http://laythetable.com/reviews/chilli-sauce-showdown/#comments Mon, 21 Feb 2011 20:35:19 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=1138

A few years ago my friend Kyo took me to a chinese takeaway in Fratton (the type I usualy despise with yellow and red signs) that served sesame chips. They must have been pretty good seeing as they've stuck in mind! I created my own "shoestring fries" version but oven baked them and added some chilli to spice things up a bit.]]> http://laythetable.com/snacks/bang-bang-chips-chilli-sesame-chips/feed/ 1 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/1950s-recipe-malaysian-jahor-laksa/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/1950s-recipe-malaysian-jahor-laksa/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:13:43 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=786
Since visiting Tampopo restaurant I've wanted to learn how to make my own laksa, a kind of curry spiced soup with noodles. Laksa originally refers to the noodles used, but over time has come to mean the soup. I took this recipe from my 1950's recipe book, although I've tweaked it a fair bit.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/1950s-recipe-malaysian-jahor-laksa/feed/ 5 http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/thai-prawn-and-mussel-tom-yam-hot-sour-soup/ http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/thai-prawn-and-mussel-tom-yam-hot-sour-soup/#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 17:45:37 +0000 Becs http://laythetable.com/?p=497
This is one of my absolute favourite things to eat, plus it's really healthy too. I learned to make this whilst I was travelling, at a little place called Pum's on Kho Phi Phi island. This soup isn't so much sour as zingy - make sure you use fresh kaffir lime leaves, it really does make a difference to the taste.]]> http://laythetable.com/savoury/quick-easy/thai-prawn-and-mussel-tom-yam-hot-sour-soup/feed/ 2
