Newsletters are great. Whether it's from the Food Network, your favourite chef, or from a cooking club, they provide great recipes on a regular basis.

This morning I received a newsletter from A Taste Of Thai, a wonderful brand of Thai ingredients and meals, and the featured recipe was Curried Lamb Stir-Fry with Asparagus. Though I'm not a fan of traditional Indian-style curries, I do love Southeast Asian curries, and the red curry used in this recipe is no exception.

Check the recipe out on the Taste of Thai website.

Thai food is rich in flavour, rich in aroma, and rich in variety. And, despite its richness, it's simple to make.

One of my favourite recipes (I have many favourite Thai recipes!) isn't even a recipe so much as a nudge in the right direction. It's for Banana Spring Rolls, and they're a sweet, easy dessert that's perfect for company.

• Peel bananas, cut halfway down the banana, then cut each half into quarters lengthwise.
• Heat oil on high in a wok.
• Place two pieces of banana in the middle of a spring roll wrapper, and wrap tightly, dabbing edges with fingers dipped in water to seal.
• Cook a few rolls in the wok at once, just until golden brown. Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil, and serve hot with condensed milk.
