Went down a treat!

Another vegan noodle legend success! Perfect Sunday treat! I made tofu and red onion in satay sauce, and paired it with the easy spicy noodle recipe! Went down a treat!

I bought this kit for my daughter and we made the Ginger Chicken with a side of Three Earthly Treasures. Both dishes were delicious! It took us longer to prepare the ingredients than it did to cook the meal. And then we both ate our meals with relish. I can't wait to visit my daughter again, both to see her, but also to try another Noodle Legend meal!

It's lovely to hear about your precious time spent with your daughter, cooking and enjoying a delicious meal together! We hope you love discovering loads more wonderful dishes on your joint journey through the Noodle Legend book!

Have curry and taco legend kits. Made gong bao recipe but added mushrooms. Really tasty

We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the taste of this classic Chinese dish - nice idea to add mushrooms for a bit of extra veg!

Amazing recipes, as always, my Daughter Alba was given this box as a gift for her birthday and has been getting more and more adventurous, but she really went for it this christmas eve! Not bad for a 14yr old

Wow - we are seriously impressed! This incredible feast must have taken a huge amount of effort, planning and preparation. And all at just 14 years old! You are a Legend, Alba!

Love noodles and Chinese food so treated myself to this. I live in France and this arrived safe with no issues. So far made several noodle dishes and satay. The spice mixes do simplify the whole process and having made a lot of these types of dishes in the past it saves a lot of time and wasted ingredients.

We're loving the festive vibes in this photo! And thank you for the glowing review of your Noodle Legend kit, we're so happy to hear how much you're enjoying using it over in France!

She absolutely loves it

This was a birthday gift for my niece and she absolutely loves it. She immediately put ingredients on the shopping list so she could start cooking. She loved the tin too!

An inspirational book

An inspirational book with plenty of alternative evening meals. So far all have been easy with a minimum of nonstandard items.

Another family hit! Already have two of Curry legend cookbooks and kits which are fabulous. Saw the noodle legend kit on offer and had to give it a go. Whilst it is slightly more faffy cooking for 4 with the noodle recipes, the results are still fantastic. The actual cooking has been relatively quick so even if doing two batches of 2 meals, the food is always fresh and hot! My only criticism is the kits are so good we never have takeaways anymore as they just don't compare for flavour and taste!

I bought ourselves a kit and gave one as a family gift I’m a takeaway noodles addict and will probably do them at home from now on Delicious!! I was also hopelessly unable to actually open my own ma la spice tin I was sent a replacement within 48 hrs Amazing service and well worth the wait

This is our third box and we are very happy with it. We live quite rurally and can't always access the spices we want to and so find the whole concept of these books and tins quite handy to have in the cupboard and the kids get involved too even if they don't eat everything. Love the northern style dumplings, we now make them in batches to freeze. Excellent for gifting too!

Super little book with all the spices you need a lovely addition to my husbands collection of kits from The Spicery, he’s already cooking me some lovely recipes from it

I bought a How to be a Noodle Legend Cookbook kit for my husband earlier in the year and we have loved cooking the recipes from it so much that I have bought one for my nephew for Christmas. The recipes are easy to follow and we already have several favourites (including King Prawns in Szechuan Sauce and Soy Sauce Chicken). We recently tried the chicken chow mein which went down really well with our daughter. I can't wait for my husband to be out so that I can try one of the noodles for one recipes! We already have the How to be a Curry Legend and the World Curry book and, as with those, the noodle kit is fantastic addition to the kitchen.

I thought taco legend was great, I thought the curry legends were great, but the noodle legend is amazing, I’d definitely recommend. Ps taco and curry legends are equally amazing)

I’ve tried a few of The Spicery’s 'Legend' kits before, but this one might be my new favorite. The four spice blends make it so simple to get those authentic flavors without having to buy 20 different jars of spices. I’ve made the Chicken Chow Mein and the Szechuan King Prawns so far, both were absolutely delicious and tasted much fresher than my local takeaway. The book is beautiful with a photo for every single recipe, which makes it really easy to follow. Highly recommend
