Wagamama Ways with Noodles

July 4, 2006 No Comments

As the cookery writer for the Irish Times he needs no introduction and he will have assumed my role at the helm of the magazine by the time you are reading this. I dined with Hugo the other evening and was delighted to find we have a similar take on food and its accompanying philosophy.I leave F&W in good hands. This is his second Wagamama cookbook and my personal belief is it’s a far better book than the original; tighter, more logically constructed and with, overall, more interesting recipes. Hugh is a self-confessed noodle addict and his enthusiasm for the subject really comes across. Noodles are great things, probably the best almost-instant food we possess, versatile and wholesome too. As with all Kyle Cathie books, production values are high and the photographer, Ditte Isager, a new name to me, has done a first-class job. Highly recommended.
