If you can get yourself to a chinese or indian supermarket, if nothing else they are so much cheaper than anywhere else.
Big supermarkets usually sell all these items, just ask, or ring up.

The second book has a recipe in it for making your own garlic and ginger paste

However, because I'm reasonably lazy.....Tesco do a Chinese Ginger, Garlic and 5 Spice which I use instead in a curry and its lovely.

Creamed coconut block, also Tesco and made by Pataks. Its in a small box.

Sainsbury's also keep these ingredients if that helps

I put my kindle in a ziplock bag when cooking (or when the kids are making the cookies from this book). It is easy to press the butttons through the bag and I don't have to worry about spills and flour etc getting on the kindle.
