They make a wonderful side dish to almost any main dish you can think of, and the leftovers are very good, reheated or cold. I have quite a few vegetable recipes on this website. I usually skip the starch at dinner and just serve two vegetable sides, so I’m always on the lookout for tasty recipes to vary the veggie rotation. These roasted mini sweet peppers are a very popular side dish in our house....

It comes down to three simple, game-changing techniques: 1. Do NOT score the skin; 2. Low heat followed by high heat; 3. Keep the pork level using balls of foil. Perfect meat, perfect crackling … Every. Single. Time! . . Slow-Roasted Crispy Pork Belly Now that you’ve scrolled past the photos above, is it fair to say I have your attention? 😉 When we’re talking about roasted pork belly, I feel like the pursuit of bubbly, perfectly crispy pork crackling goes without saying....

This Italian Chicken Casserole is inspired by a Sicilian Chicken recipe by Mario Batali, an Italian- American chef and restauranteur. He’s also one of the collaborators of New York’s popular Eataly, an emporium of all things Italian that was the single most visited place during my last visit to New York. Great for souvenirs, for a quick lunch, for afternoon tea (oh, the pastry counter!!), for an early evening glass of wine (oh, the wine bar!...

Forget the packets of dried ramen noodles this is the BEST! I’ve had so-so ramen (always a little disappointing when the broth is too watered down) and I’ve had great ramen, like when we visited New York (that definitely falls into the category of great, if not magnificent!). The broth is made by slow cooking the pork for 4 hours, along with lots of delicious extras such as garlic, ginger, soy sauce, mirin and gochujang....

I make pasta meals at least a couple of times a week. Good old spag bol appears on the menu most weeks, and then there’s usually some kind of variation with salmon or chicken. I like to throw in whatever I’ve got lying around at the time - maybe some chorizo, or crispy bacon. Sometimes cream or chillies. I’m slightly constrained at the moment since I’m trying to lose a few pounds, so I’ve been looking at other ways of getting in a flavour punch without going over-the-top on the naughty additions....

It’s a quick and easy method that any home cook can do, any night of the week. No deep frying, no special equipment. This is a game changer! How do Chinese restaurants get their beef so tender?? Ever notice how the beef at Chinese restaurants is so incredibly tender, and how your stir fries at home are just never the same? The secret is tenderising the meat. It’s called velveting beef....

Tequila Sunrise Am I the only person who wonders why it’s called a Tequila Sunrise when it looks just as much like a sunset when it’s certainly more appropriate to be drinking these??! 😂 Name aside, this is one of the most popular Tequila Cocktails around, the other being margaritas. Orange and tequila is a classic combination and it’s a refreshing drink that even people who don’t like tequila will enjoy drinking because really, you can’t taste the tequila at all!...

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....

Shinjuku is known as the area of Tokyo that has everything, and masses of it! You could spend a month in Shinjuku and still feel like a newcomer to the area. With endless shopping, dining, drinking, entertainment and blocks of towering office skyscrapers, it’s a vast and busy area with mazes of streets that light up in rainbows of coloured signs at night! It’s like a mini Tokyo in itself!...

Serve it with air fryer steak and veggies Easy Air fryer roasted potato recipe I only recently purchased my air fryer and I have practically tried all recipes I can think of in it and I haven’t been disappointed. Air fryer recipes are convenient and mess-free. My family and I are now enjoying our weekly serving of jacket baked potatoes which can also be made in an instant pot....

It’s such an easy recipe to make yet it looks so impressive! Leftovers are good too, so you can make a couple of them to ensure tasty leftovers. Bacon really does make everything better. 🥓 In this particular recipe, it adds juiciness and flavor that the naturally lean pork tenderloin lacks. Wrapping the pork in bacon does more than enhance the flavor. It also ensures that the meat stays nice and juicy....

We completely bypassed Autumn here in Sydney. One week ago, I was still in short and thongs, splashing around in the surf with Dozer, just as I was back in December. But now, it’s freezing. Let me rephrase – cold by Sydney standards. “Cold” being 55F/13C. It will get colder as we get into the height of winter, but really, the truth is that even in winter, most days it’s as warm as spring....

One thing I love about the eating season - err I mean Christmas - is the endless selection of canapés and mini versions of pretty much every type of food. We all want to have a taste of every delicious dish on offer, so we scale it all down in order to fit more in. It’s genius really. I don’t know why we don’t do it all the time. After all, who can resist I plateful of doll-sized food?...

I’m 30-something years old and I still have sleepovers with my girlfriends. Is that abnormal? I’m not even talking about weekends away. I’m talking about actual sleepovers – bring your pillow and PJ’s, lots of wine, rag mags (gossip magazines) and in this particular case, one of my friends brought hair dye with her so we could do her roots for her. (It was supposed to be blonde. It came out orange....

Thoran-style Indian salad? Thoran is a staple vegetable-based “dry curry” found in the southern India. It consist of chopped vegetables cooked with grated coconut, curry leaves and is lightly flavoured with turmeric and maybe a couple of other spices. It can be made with many different vegetables such as cabbage, carrot, okra, onion, natives vegetables, or a mix. For the past year, I’ve been obsessively making the green bean version – which I will publish one of these days, because it’s so damned good!...

Chicken with creamy mustard sauce This is one of those recipes that will save you on those nights you’re staring at chicken breast or thighs and wondering, “What the heck am I going to make for dinner, fast?” Here, chicken is seared until golden and served with a creamy mustard sauce that takes barely a minute to come together. The trick to making such a simple cream sauce delectable is to mix the cream with 2 types of mustard....

More chicken stew recipe options: Faster Chicken Quick Stew (using bite size chicken pieces), Coq au Vin and Chicken Fricasée (creamy French Chicken Stew, reader favourite!). Chicken Stew – with crispy skin! Anyone else here not a fan of slimy chicken skin?? I don’t care how long it’s been slow cooked. And whether it’s a stew, in soup or Hainanese chicken. No chicken skin comes near my mouth unless it’s crispy or caramelised....

I started my personal training sessions again last night, followed by an outdoor fitness class this morning. My body is screaming at me to lie down and watch TV until at least Sunday, but I’ve arranged another mini-workout session tomorrow with a friend. I’m not normally (or ever?) this enthusiastic about exercise, but something needs to be done about my sausage thighs. All that weight I lost (if you remember those before and after pics from my May 2016 income report?...

The first thing some might notice is that there’s bacon in this Fried Rice. “That’s not authentic!”, you may be thinking. And that’s true. Authentic Chinese restaurants make Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage. I’m betting that the vast majority of readers have never bought or cooked Chinese Sausage before. But you know what? Kylie Kwong says bacon is ok. In fact, it’s the alternative in her recipe to Chinese Sausage....
