Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey

Wondering how to ring the changes for this year's Christmas feasting? Rick Stein has some delicious new ideas which he brought back from his Far Eastern Odyssey. His journey took him to Cambodia, Bali, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Thailand - historically one of the most important regions in the world associated with spices fundamental to our enjoyment of Christmas cake, pudding, mulled wine and mince pies. Although Christmas may not be celebrated to the same level in those countries, their traditional food could brighten up your meals this season.
