` She’s rude, she’s crude, she’s good with food’ Andrew Billen, The Observer. Outrageous Nancy Lam, tv’s most eccentric far eastern chef and new star, cuts the crap and reveals how to create mouthwatering dishes from the kitchens of Enak Enak! (it means yum, yum), her famous Lavender Hill restaurant.

From Knickerless Nancy: the first shock-wok, comes a cookery extravaganza, combining Nancy’s colourful and innovative personality with step-by-step instructions on how to create over 150 authentic Far Eastern dishes. Appealing to both the novice and experienced cook, Nancy Lam shows how a balance of fresh, nutritious ingredients, exotic herbs and spices can produce scrumptious meals which are also extremely good for you. Fully illustrated, Nancy Lam’s Cookbook includes advice on the finest easy-to-find ingredients, utensils, methods and alternatives, interspersed with her own inimitable observations. Nancy Lam finally blows the top off the mystique behind Far Eastern cooking, whilst her alter ego husband Ben struggles to get a word in edgeways.
