  This was good and fresh in flavours, and very quick to make for a midweek meal. It didn't taste much like other pad thai I've had though so I might try out some other recipes before making this again.

  This was gorgeous and fresh tasting but I also fried up some red pepper and mushrooms to add to it.

  I have done several Thai recipes from the classic Thai collection and they have all been great, up until now. This was terrible, the fish sauce was so salty it dominated the taste and adding the egg made the sauce thick and gelatinous. We took out the prawns and binned the rest. This recipe needs more instruction as to the thickness of the sauce, should water be added to make the sauce thinner? Use less fish sauce or maybe a fish stock cube instead.

  tastes lovely and really quick to make. The real deal. Looks a little different to the pic but not half bad and i would recomend this as a change and affordable quick meal. However it does require a little muscel when stiring around the noodles [although i may have put a little more than required in!]

  This was delicious! Never had pad Thai and was very impressed at how tasty it is! I would try it with chicken and any left-overs make a tasty cold lunch.

  Really nice and simple. A good, light meal. I make without the sauce, I just squirt lime juice on top and this is enough for us it doesn't taste like anything is missing.
