On my journey to making dinner time more interesting and bringing more exotic and healthy dishes to the table, I have found a clever little sauce made by the famous Masterchef host, Loyd Grossman. Mr Grossman quotes 'Creating a great Thai curry is about fusion of aromatic ingredients: like the way lemongrass, lime leaves and corriander marry with the green chillies in this sauce for a wonderfully fragrant taste'. Well, we can't let him take all the credit, after all he didn't help me prepare the meat or stand over the stove. The sauce comes in a clear glass jar with a silver lid, and has a push top seal for freshness. On the front of the jar is a label with a ...  Read the complete review

Last night was one of those mealtimes when I was making dinner for five hungry adults with odds and ends out of the fridge - you know the type of thing, where you have three quarters of a pepper, starting to wrinkle just a little bit, some "rubber" brocolli and floppy cabbage that was left over from Sunday lunch, a box of button mushrooms that I had meant to make a mushroom omelette with (except I had no eggs) - that type of throw it all together and make something with it that us disorganised working mothers are so good at!

The jar has a slightly elongated neck, which helps to make it stand out as a more expensive-looking option against the other versions on the shelf. The label on ...  Read the complete review

Green curries, red curries, yellow curries, I love all variants. We have curry at least once a week for dinner - more often twice. Unfortunately preparing a curry takes quite a long time with chopping all the vegetables and preparing the sauce. So when Loyd Grossman offered to do this part for me I was delighted and tried it the very same day that I bought the sauce from the shop. Having lived and travelled in Southeast Asia I tasted so many different curries that I lost track of them. But the general rule is: yellow - mild; red - spicy but ok; green - hot, hot, hot. I was quite confuse when I tried the Loyd Grossman curry, it was a lot milder than ...  Read the complete review
