If you haven't added our Massaman Curry Kit to your freezer stock yet, you are missing out on the ultimate autumn comfort food. 🍂
Unlike our bright, herby Green Curry, Massaman is a beautifully rich, warming blend of two worlds. It brings together traditional Thai flavors with warm, aromatic spices.
Here is what makes it so special:
✨ The Warmth: Infused with whole aromatic spices like clove, cinnamon, and fennel that make your kitchen smell incredible while it simmers.
✨ The Tang: Balanced perfectly with authentic tamarind paste for a subtle, fruity brightness.
✨ The Crunch: Finished with a rich, nutty depth from real peanuts.

It is mild on heat, but incredibly deep on flavor. Think of it as the ultimate Thai comfort stew—perfect for a chilly, rainy evening when you want something deeply satisfying but family-friendly.
Drop it into your cart for this Wednesday's home delivery, or come grab one at Calgary Farmers' Market West!

Lemongrass soup: The ultimate prep plan for the cold and flu season.

Curling up with a mug of our lemongrass soup can be one of the best options when a cold hits. Commonly known as "fever grass" in many cultures, lemongrass has been used for generations to soothe flu and respiratory symptoms. Combined with the galangal and chilies in our Kit, this combination will target your symptoms from the inside out to get you feeling better faster.

• Clears stuffy sinuses: The steaming citrus vapors act as a natural decongestant to instantly open up blocked nasal passages.

• Soothes sore throats: Warm and soothing, it coats your throat to reduce irritation and ease body aches.

• Relieves chest congestion: Galangal works as a natural cough medicine, helping to clear out stubborn mucus and soothe your throat.

• Warms a chilled body: Galangal brings a sharp, pine-like warmth that naturally cuts through chills and body aches without being overwhelmingly spicy.

• Lime Leaves: Packed with essential oils that add a bright, refreshing aroma to help clear your senses.

• Chilis: Tossing these in adds a kick of heat that triggers instant sinus drainage and breaks up deep congestion.

• Chicken Stock & Fish Sauce: Provide a savory, mineral-rich base that delivers essential hydration and electrolytes without weighing down a sick stomach.

The perishable pieces in this kit take up minimal space in your freezer and are great to have on hand when you need them. Order by the end of the day tomorrow and we'll have your Kits on your doorstep on Wednesday. You can also find them at several of our local retailers including Fresh Market in Avenida (SE Calgary) and Mainstreet Market in Okotoks or, at our location inside Calgary Farmers Market West.

Pad Thai Pro-tip #3: The Upgrades

Extra Crunch & Texture
Crispy Shallots: Fried shallots for a sweet, savory crunch that complements the crushed peanuts.
Preserved Radish: A traditional Thai addition that brings a unique, sweet-and-salty chewy bite.
Fresh Herbs: While green onions are standard, adding fresh cilantro or Thai basil for a bright, aromatic lift.

Protein Upgrades
Crispy Pork Belly: Adds a rich, decadent crunch that pairs beautifully with the tangy tamarind in our sauce.
Fried Tofu: Extra firm cubed tofu that has been pan-fried absorbs the sauce perfectly while staying chewy.
Mixed Seafood: Beyond just shrimp, add calamari (squid) or mussels turns it into a seriously high end dish.

Flavor & Heat Boosters
Prik Nam Pla: A classic Thai condiment made of fish sauce with sliced bird's eye chilies and lime juice for an intense salty-spicy kick.
Thai Chili Jam: Adding a spoonful introduces a smoky, sweet, and mild roasted-chili depth to the sauce.
Sriracha or Garlic Chili Sauce: When you need a little vinegar-based heat rather than dry chili flakes.

Pad Thai Pro-tip #3: The Leftovers

The Microwave: Don't get me wrong, I've microwaved my fair share of Pad Thai but, it turn rice noodles a little rubbery and dry. In a pinch, a little extra squeeze of lime juice will help.

The Stovetop: Reheat your leftovers in a frying pan over medium-high heat with 1–2 tablespoons of water or broth. It loosens the noodles and restores the sauce.

The Crunch: Move any fresh bean sprouts or raw peanuts to the side before heating, then add them back on top right before you eat.
