GOK WAN: Live Webchat - Friday 11 October, 1.45-2.45pm

We'll still be sweeping up the biscuit crumbs left from the Jennifer Saunders webchat as we prepare for the return of Gok Wan to Mumsnet Towers on Friday 11 October at 1.45pm. Since his last visit in Summer 2010, Gok has produced 2 cookery books and his latest, Gok's Wok is published this week.

Gok shares many of his family's traditional recipes but gives them a modern twist as he teaches us how to cook, simple, fast meals with flavour and a splash of Gok originality. Chapters cover all occasions from lunches to dinner parties and include curries, stir-fries, noodles, salads, soups and desserts.

Join Gok on Friday at 1.45pm or post a question to him in advance to this thead and you'll be entered into a draw to win a SIGNED copy of Gok's Wok.

We have also teamed up with Gok and Sainsbury's to host a live cookalong on Google+. On Wednesday 16 October at 7pm Gok will be making two super-delicious dishes from his new book and he'd love you to join him in cooking them. Find out more here.

Well, perhaps not "at their own risk"

But you know, "These are adult intelligent sentient sharp witted irreverent right on women. Are you up for that?"

MarmaladeBatkins · 11/10/2013 15:36

Well, HoneyDragon won the Mary Berry book. Berry seemed to lurrrrrve our HoneyDragon.

I'M JUST SAYING.

Nigels WebChat was really good as well, he was lovely.

reelingintheyears · 11/10/2013 15:43

Kat Slater's long lost bruvver? Wink

mignonette · 11/10/2013 15:48

He is wonderful- lets call him Emperor. I hope my earlier comment didn't come across as being snide about his sexuality. I didn't mean it like that Blush.

He is King, Queen and Master of the Culinary Universe for me (alongside James Villas who is a little more obscure outside of the USA).

BOF · 11/10/2013 16:37

Were you lot horrible to him then? Sad

He's just a personable small orange tv presenter, you know, not the Evil Genius behind the Patriarchy.

ZingDollyChops · 11/10/2013 16:40

BOF

I was nice, he's coming round for dinner! Grin

Hullygully · 11/10/2013 16:41

I wasn't, I tried to help him but it was unappreciated

ZingDollyChops · 11/10/2013 16:43

you poor Hully Sad

you're so sad, you can't even use emoticons

let me lend you some Sad Sad Sad

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 11/10/2013 16:44

I was nice, but he didn't answer my question, so I now think he's a giant meanie.

And I hate the activia yoghurts. So nyer.

BOF · 11/10/2013 16:55

But they help you poo, or stop you farting, or do some other implied but ill-defined digestive thing, don't they? You're not meant to like them. It's like those women on the adverts who try to convince each other that ryvita is delicious.

He's not part of the illuminati .

Wheatus · 11/10/2013 17:08

This thread has been linked to on Twitter, with a call to feminists to post and that Gok's a woman hater.

That explains a bit why it went the way it did.

nameequality · 11/10/2013 17:12

Gok have you ever read The Beauty Myth?
