Chinese Cuisine

I’ll go anywhere to find the best recipes and ingredients for the Sharwood’s Chinese range. Believe me, I’m passionate about Chinese food and I’ll only settle for the real McCoy!

I discovered some of the little tricks that Chinese cooks use – and you’ll be surprised how simple it can be to turn ordinary noodles or a stir fry into a dish that really tastes amazing.

Most of my recipes take just a few minutes to make and I promise they’ll taste better than your local takeaway. So stick with me and let’s make some great Chinese food together!

Cooking Tip

Marinating

The Chinese often use a classic, wonderfully aromatic marinade of soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic and cornflour. This marinade tenderises tough meats and protects delicate foods during stir-frying.

Indian Cuisine

I've been having an amazing time exploring India, tracking down new recipe ideas for Sharwood's. I tell you, it's been a real eye opener!

Whether you're in a village in Bengal or one of the big cities like Mumbai, the sheer zest for cooking in India is unbelievable. They have such an incredible choice of spices and fresh ingredients there - and those are exactly the flavours that we've captured in the Sharwood’s Indian range.

Take a look at the recipes and tips I've come up with to get you started. They're really quick and simple. And if they inspire you to start making your own home-cooked Indian food, I'll have done my job!

Cooking Tip

An Indian meal

For a typical evening meal in India, a selection of dishes are usually served. In Northern India this would typically be daal, a vegetable dish and a meat dish, eaten with chapattis or occasionally naan bread.

Thai Cuisine

If you've ever been to Thailand, you'll never forget the intense flavours of real Thai cooking. I've travelled all over the country as a Sharwood chef to find the ultimate recipes to use for our curry pastes and sauces – which means that all the hard work has been done for you.

For our Thai range we've sourced the finest fresh ingredients like coconut, lemongrass, chilli and Thai basil so that you can come home and create an authentic Thai meal in minutes.

I'll show you how simple it is to cook really delicious Thai food without having to travel further than your local supermarket. Are you ready?

Cooking Tip

Adjusting saltiness

To tone down a dish that's too salty, add lime juice or lemon juice. For a dish that's not salty enough, add fish sauce instead of salt - or soy sauce if you're vegetarian. This will give the dish more flavour as well.
