I know I shared a baked chicken recipe last week but this is so good, I didn’t have the patience to wait longer! I saw Peruvian rotisserie chicken being made on a cooking show once and unsurprisingly, it was added to my ever growing list of “things to make”. Do you keep a list of “things to make”? I actually have 4 5 lists. “Make for blog”, “Clients” (being recipes I create and shoot for clients), “Meals” (being my normal meals), “Ideas” (that list where 95% of the things on it never get made) and “ABSOLUTELY MUST TRY”....

It takes a lot for me to concede defeat and accept that I can’t do it all – run a business*, renovate a home, work on a cookbook and maintain my existing recipe posting schedule. Lockdown certainly didn’t help matters to increase my workload – though on a cheerier note, as of Monday of this week, the lockdown rules have been substantially relaxed here in Sydney. 🙌🏻 I found myself getting up earlier and earlier (currently 4....

This easy side dish is ready in about 30 minutes and you’ll only need five simple ingredients to make it. I love carrots. 🥕 I enjoy them in their raw state, dipped in a homemade ranch dip or in a tasty Greek yogurt dip. But I especially enjoy them cooked. Cooking takes away their crunch but enhances their delicate sweetness. These roasted carrots are especially good. The combination of the natural sweetness of the carrots and the deep flavor of the olive oil is wonderful....

I think I’ve finally figured out that bite-sized treats aren’t better for you than humongous treats. If there’s a plateful of bite-size treats, I’ll eat them all - totally beating the king-size-snickers- calorie-count that I was trying to avoid. I have no self control. So rather than talking about how making mini-desserts are better for the waistline, I’m gonna come right out and tell you that you’ll probably eat seven or eight of these in a row, have a sugar rush, followed by an energy slump - where you’ll feel guilty that you ate so many - then you’ll vow not to be so greedy in future (and you may need to undo your top button)....

And it’s time to choose the next FREE eCookbook!!! Sausage Pasta It’s the last Monday of August which means another Monday Meatball Mania* here! I hadn’t planned for this Sausage Pasta to be my meatball recipe for this month….but when I noticed that chopped up sausages end up looking just like mini meatballs, I couldn’t resist. 😉 I mean, what a way to make “meatballs”, right? Just chop up sausages!...

The homemade sauce used to stir fry the veggies and shrimps is about to be your go-to sauce for all stir-fries, it is delicious and the umami flavour is spot on. I love to serve this stir fry with freshly boiled basmati rice, coconut rice or noodles. Shrimp stir fry recipe Who doesn’t like a good stir fry especially on a busy weeknight when you just want something quick and easy but delicious....

Am I too late to be sharing summer cocktails? It’s not even mid August, and I’ve started to see people getting ready for Autumn! Noooo! I’ve not even got a tan yet! Not that I ever actually tan. I just tend to turn from blue-tinged whiteness to slightly pink, and then back to white again. I saw some spiced winter berry cordial in a gorgeous farm shop in Wilmslow on Saturday....

The Thai stir fry sauce I use in this Spicy Thai Chicken Stir Fry is like the Thai equivalent of Charlie, my All Purpose Chinese Stir Fry Sauce. If you haven’t discovered Charlie yet, pop over because honestly, especially if you are pressed for time, he will be life changing. Yes, I’ve given my Chinese stir fry sauce a name, and yes there is logic – albeit bland / crazy – behind it....

Ok, we’re in the veggie swing and the days are getting warmer! We need light dinners with lots of green and plenty of flavour. Even more so because our trip to Florida is coming up fast and I want to feel healthy and energised - rather than completely shattered. Do you ever find that when you go on holiday? Running around like an idiot, trying to get everything done, and the moment you can relax, you get a cold/headache or just need to sleep for 10 hours straight!...

Sometimes things don’t work out for a reason. At the time it’s disappointing and frustrating - especially when you’ve put time and effort it. You don’t want to see that effort go to waste, so you make some changes and try again. and then again. With a little luck, you may find you end up with something better than you’d hoped for originally, and you’ll have learnt a good few things on the way....

Make this with shrimp/prawns, chicken or any protein you wish. If you’re feeling inspired, indulge in a Thai banquet at home with Chicken Satay Skewers, Thai Fish Cakes, and a Thai Red Curry or Green Curry! Thai Fried Rice I’m pretty sure every Asian country has their version of Fried Rice, and this is how the Thais make it! This is a regular when I go out for Thai. While the “normal” thing to do is to have Thai Red Curry or Green Curry with plain steamed jasmine rice, I just can’t resist ordering fried rice instead....

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Let me show you how to make it in easy steps including tips on how to cook frozen broccoli in the air fryer. Roasted Broccoli The majority of the vegetable recipes shared on this blog is broccoli because, for some reason best known to my children, it is the only vegetable in the whole world. Well, I do not blame them! Apart from the fact that it is obviously healthy and packed with nutrients that are good for the body, broccoli steamed, fried grilled, or roasted is perfect in every way....

Apple Bars There’s no question – apple is my favourite fruit for cooking. From magic Self Saucing Caramel Baked Apples to classic Apple Crumble, Apple Cake and stay-moist Apple Muffins, it is the single most used fruit in my dessert world. Perhaps because I always have them – an apple a day keeps the doctor away! Perhaps because apple desserts tend to be less sweet than rich chocolate desserts (not that I’ve ever been known to turn away a slice of chocolate cake)....

Authentic tasting Banh Mi with just a trip to your local grocery store? YES YOU CAN! Banh Mi recipe Fellow Banh Mi lovers, this one’s for you! A recipe that’s been in the works for a very long time, with much taste-testing research done (it’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it… 😂). In today’s Banh Mi recipe, I’m going to show you: I certainly had more than my fair share of Banh Mi when I was in Vietnam last year…....

This is THE sauce. The sauce that turned me from a barbecue sauce ‘meh’ person, to barbecue sauce lover.It’s the first time in my life that I now reach for barbecue sauce rather than ketchup for my french fries and hot dogs. Made of store cupboard ingredients, it’s got a lovely smoky, sweet and tangy flavour to it.And this recipe makes 2 cups. So that’ll last at least a week right?...

Ready in just 30 minutes, it makes an easy weeknight side dish. Or mix in a protein to turn it into a complete meal. I adore broccoli. I enjoy roasted broccoli, steamed broccoli, and I especially love creamy roasted broccoli stalks. Alas, not everyone in my household agrees that broccoli is yummy, which is why I created this broccoli cheese casserole. It’s a reliable way to serve broccoli to picky children, but it’s also loved by adults....

These are like the chicken and broccoli version of good ole’ Rissoles! Serve this for dinner with crusty bread slathered with butter and a side salad. Or put out a platter with a dipping sauce as a starter to share! Cheesy Chicken Patties Fritters? Or patties? I couldn’t decide. And I kept flopping back and forth so you’ll probably see them used interchangeably throughout this post – and even the video (which I just realised I made with FRITTERS plastered all over it....
