He lives now mostly in his adopted Thailand, he is in fact American by birth, along with stints at a home in France and despite being semi-retired and recovering from cancer treatment, he popped up on Saturday Kitchen recently. It confirmed him as one of the nicest chefs around and still one of the most skilled.
His 100 Easy Chinese Suppers is part of a very good range of books from My Kitchen Table, which are refreshingly clean and simple. Small enough to slip in a pocket, they don’t waste space inside either. No preamble, no introduction, just straight into the recipes.
There’s not a page without something tempting on it – from stews and curries to easy stir fries and healthy steamed and braised dishes, there are also some great light bites and easy entertaining recipes.
Once you get the Chinese bug from this book it’s hard to stop. You’ll find yourself using it every night. It’s not often a cookbook is this good, this simple and this well produced for the money and it knocks many a posher production into a cocked hat. Well done our Ken and well done My Kitchen Table.
