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.

I'd love to hear a response to Mme Lindor (and other's questions) about the conflict between loving your body and trussing it up to conform to some fashion ideal. The Naked Beauty series where Gok hosed down the contestants was a disgrace case in point.

Proper HOWLS at Hully being a troll.

Sorry. As you were.

Hullygully · 11/10/2013 14:18

I asked a serious question!

TunipTheUnconquerable · 11/10/2013 14:18

Which sins are those, Midwife? Have you been committing gluttony? Because God can still see through your Spanx, you know Sad

QueenOfAllBiscuitsandMuffins · 11/10/2013 14:18

THEY AREN'T SINS IT'S YOUR BODY. Bodies have dips and curves and bulges and fat and cellulite and freckles and hairs.

midwifeandmum · 11/10/2013 14:18

I AM ashamed of my body le stew lol. Believe me after 2 kids my body has many sins lol

midwifeandmum · 11/10/2013 14:19

@ScooseIsLoose

I'm posting my question again just in case gok missed it amongst the limericks. Hi gok I love you!! You are fabulous anyway my question is are there any recipes in your book that go down particularly well with fussy eaters? (i.e children) my daughter is a very fussy eater (she's autistic) and it's a struggle to get her to try new things but try I will! Thanks love xx

Hi Darling,

It really does depend how fussy she is and what types of foods she likes and dislikes. There are plenty of recipes that are fun to make so this help entice her to try different flavours? If she makes the food then maybe she would be more inclined to eat it. Also, I'd suggest you modify the recipes to her taste. If she like chicken then use that instead of maybe fish? I hope this helps!

Big Kiss,

x

Hullygully · 11/10/2013 14:20

never mind midwife, we will all like you no matter what. Your body is just a container for your spirit, don't worry about it.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 11/10/2013 14:20

Interesting, isn't it? You could totally replace 'spanx' with 'burqa' in that sentence and suddenly the 'multitude of sins' thing sounds less funny. Same message, however.

I haven't experienced such an entertaining webchat since I propositioned Kevin McCloud.

JemimaMuddledUp · 11/10/2013 14:21

Is Gok just ignoring half the questions on the thread?

Maybe the biscuits are too tasty...

midwifeandmum · 11/10/2013 14:22

Thanx Hully lol Grin
