NOODLE BIBLE

Jacki Passmore Penguin Books $19.99

Noodles are the ultimate convenience food. Noodles are inexpensive, easy to cook, remarkably versatile - and they're healthy too. A winning combination!

Noodle Bible is packed with recipes - fragrant broths, hearty hawker-style dishes, one pot meals and cool favourites such as soba noodles. I've made three of the dishes thus far and all were voted tops!

As well, there are tips on cooking and storing noodles, preparing basic stocks and sauces, and ideas for elegant concoctions such as noodle baskets for special occasions.

Jacki Passmore is a prolific and highly regarded Australian food writer with numerous Asian cookbooks to her credit. Top marks to Jacki and Penguin for an excellent index, something often overlooked with less expensive books like this.

This book will make an exceptionally practical gift for someone setting up home or for a member of your family who is leaving home to go flatting.
