Method Having learnt the things I've learnt about chickens over the last few years, of course I'm going to suggest that you buy free-range or organic.

But if you're a little tight for cash, the RSPCA Freedom Food chickens are very good and available in all good supermarkets. To prepare your chicken Take your chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before it goes into the oven. Preheat your oven to 240°C/475°F/gas 9. There's no need to peel the vegetables – just give them a wash and roughly chop them. Pile all the veg and garlic into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil. To cook your chicken Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting tray and put it into the preheated oven. Baste the chicken halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them burning. To carve your chicken Remove any string from the chicken and take off the wings (break them up and add to your gravy for mega flavour). Mango-Glazed Curried Ribs recipe.

I spent the Christmas holidays in Victoria with my husband, parents, brother and his girlfriend. All of us squeezed into my parents' beautiful little condo and shared many, many wonderful meals. On a previous trip to Victoria I had lunch at Rebar, a legendary vegetarian restaurant, with my parents and devoured one of the sample Rebar cookbooks while we waited for our meal.

The cookbook, called the Rebar Modern Food Cookbook, is full of healthy, vibrant recipes, and when I saw my brother leafing through a copy in a bookstore during one of our many strolls through town, I knew it would make the perfect birthday present. His birthday falls right after the holidays so I gave it to him before our family group disbanded and returned to our respective cities – but not before I copied a few of the recipes, including the delicious-looking Kung Pao noodles.

This is my version of the original recipe. The original is a vegetarian recipe and calls for more vegetables and no meat. Ingredients.
