Hi all,

Made the salt and pepper chicken from the new book for dinner tonight and it is gorgeous! Better than the takeaway version I think...

Thought I'd take you a few pics

That looks delish kevie, think that will be on the menu as soon as book arrives. :T

I found the creamed coconut block in either MrT or MrA - probably world foods aisle. Couldn't find garlic and ginger paste to begin with but substituted garlic puree with a good dose of ginger powder. Later found ginger paste and garlic paste but not the 2 together - bought the ginger paste and stuck with the garlic puree!

I've pre-ordered the new book so will find out how to make it properly very very soon!

hi sorry to sound dumb but do you just mix the ginger paste and garlic puree together first then measure out 1 tablespoon? or do you do 1 teaspoon of each?
Thanks

I'm interested in getting this book. I'm pregnant and have been craving takeaways but don't like the idea of all the fat and grease that goes into them!

The thing is that the only Takeaways I like are pizza, things from the chippy, Macdonalds etc. I don't like chinese, indian, mexican etc and I'm vegetarian.

Are there many recipes to cater for someone like me?

i doubt there would be much in the book for you. as the menu at chippys and mcds consists of a vegi burger, or cheese and onion pastie, which dont really have distinct flavours, or contain secret ingredients

For anyone that lives near Glasgow, you may be interested to know that Kenny is doing a book launch for 'More Takeaway Secrets' next Friday night at 7.30pm in the Celtic Supporters Association, London Rd, Glasgow.

Kenny will be making food from both the first & second book for people to sample. Entry is £8 with the book or £4 if you already have a copy.

All profits raised on the night will go to The Kano Foundation, a charity that takes disadvantaged kids groups on days out to football matches.

If you are interested in attending the book launch, drop me a pm and I'll tell you how to arrange tickets. As well as the book & food, there will be a disco afterwards. Kenny will also give hints & tips on how to make your favourite recipes.

This is a big step for Kenny as readers of the book will know he has social anxiety disorder. He wants to thank his supporters and lovers of the books/recipes, so we hope it is a good turnout.

I would love to go, and could probably find a way to get there (I'm sure the 89/90 bus goes that way - no idea, but I'd find out lol), but not sure I could get home ok.

Does he have a site I could donate on?

p.s got my new book, just waiting to try it all [bar the deep fried Mars Bar] out.

I've ordered the new one from amazon and the estimated dispatch date is the 27th of may - 1st june. anybody else got a delayed dispatch date. I'm desperate to look at it, not happy.
do you think we need a new thread for the new book or is it going to share this thread?
