This chickpea salad tastes as bright as it looks, and works as a main course with crusty bread, or as a side for roasts, fish, prawns or simple pan seared garlic chicken thighs. Chickpea Salad I know it’s tempting to just grab a can of chickpeas, add green fluffage, toss with dressing and call it a day. And that has happened many a times around here, being a handy and somewhat virtuous quick meal option....

Aussies love Greek Salad. If the local fish and chip shop sells one fresh salad, it’s probably a Greek Salad. That’s how much we love it. Did you know……Greek Salad as most people know it (and the way I make it) is not actually the real-deal authentic Greek way. The way the Greeks make it, feta is served in a block on top of the salad rather than chopped into cubes, and the salad is dressed with just plain extra virgin olive oil (Greek olive oil of course!...

They’re ready in just 30 minutes and this includes prepping the vegetables. Leftovers are great too! Some recipes are just perfect for summer. These tasty kabobs are one of them. They are easy to make, fresh-tasting, and they look gorgeous - so pretty and colorful. A few other summer favorites include grilled peaches (preferably with homemade frozen yogurt), chilled gazpacho, and caprese salad. Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these grilled vegetable kabobs....

Are you on a bit of a January health kick like me? Ha ha I like the way that sounds like I’m going to be all about the fitness and good eating for a month. In reality January is so far, more of a comfortable warm-up. A few workouts and some healthy meals, interspersed with the odd G&T and bar of chocolate. That probably means I’ll be looking at a gradual weight loss from the pounds I put on over Xmas (and most of last year if I’m honest)....

If you’ve never made pesto at home, don’t be intimidated! It’s really easy and only takes a few minutes. I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step so you can see just how easy it is. Ingredients Here are the main ingredients needed to make a classic pesto Fresh basil leaves Pinenuts Garlic Parmesan cheese Olive oil substitute with extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper How to make basil pesto sauce To a food processor, add fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, and garlic, and pulse for a few seconds just until fully chopped....

Roast lamb just wouldn’t be the same without mint sauce. Fresh and tangy it really adds an extra layer of flavour to that roast dinner. Mint sauce as an accompaniment to lamb is a very British thing. We do have mint jelly too, but mint sauce is way more popular. Lamb used to be a lot more fatty than it is nowadays, and the sharp taste of the mint and vinegar helped to cut through that fattiness....

Currently I’m trying not to feel guilty that I haven’t posted in 12 days! I usually try to post a recipe a couple of times a week, but last week was just not one of those weeks. We filmed 9 videos and did a few photo shoots too. One top of that, Lewis had a choir performance in Manchester, Gracey was in a musical performance all week, we had various deliveries of new kitchen appliances, old appliances taken out, boxes EVERYWHERE (and still there now), 2 lots of installation engineers, and Chris had his foot rested up and iced for a couple of days (he couldn’t drive all week, so I was ferrying everyone around, whilst he spent a lot of the time hobbling)....

Plus, a bonus no-knead version – the world’s easiest hot cross buns recipe! Hot Cross Buns Big, fluffy, fragrant Hot Cross Buns just like what you get from your favourite bakery are easier to make than you think. Especially if you have a stand mixer. Homemade Hot Cross Buns become a dump-and-mix job to make the dough. Definitely my preferred method! These Hot Cross Buns are way better than the stock standard ones you buy from grocery stores....

This pressure cooker Korean beef recipe is not only good with boiled basmati rice or Jasmine rice alone, you can serve it in wraps, lettuce cups and other veggies as salad. Consider this Korean beef recipe as the shortcut version of Bulgogi. No marination needed and if steak or beef chunks is not available, you would always have ground beef. We can all agree on one thing that ground beef is one of the easiest instant pot recipes ever made....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Though my brother, sister and I all know how to make Japanese food, it’s an unspoken rule that when it comes to Japanese food, that’s mum’s domain. So if any of us have a particular craving for a Japanese meal, we submit requests. Sister: “Mum, can you make oden for us this weekend? Puh-lease??” Brother: “Mum, we’re heading out to the harbour for New Years’ Eve fireworks....

Handcrafted Japanese Knife Giveaway! {Update: Giveaway has closed, the winner is Monica O’Sullivan!} The last time we asked my mother to bring a kitchenware item back from Japan, it was “just” a Yakitori charcoal grilling station. “It’s only 10 kg (20 lb)!” my sister cajoled. “C’mon mum!” We were only joking. Though perhaps not excessively heavy, it’s about 1 m / 3 feet long and given she was also manhandling her ski gear, we didn’t actually think she would lug one back for us....

Ready in 20 minutes and made with just six ingredients, it’s the ultimate weeknight dinner! I’m always on the lookout for easy dinner recipes, and this tasty chicken recipe did not disappoint. It’s ridiculously easy to make, takes 20 minutes from start to finish, and the chicken comes out wonderfully juicy and flavorful. I think it’s even better than my truly juicy baked chicken breast! Just as important, leftovers are very tasty too - I really like to use them in salads....

Ready in about 30 minutes, they make the perfect low-carb weekend breakfast! These pancakes are amazing. They are very tasty and wonderfully fluffy. The ricotta cheese adds wonderful creaminess and greatly enhances their texture. Coconut flour is not always easy to work with because it’s so absorbent. However, once you get the ratios right, it produces wonderful baked goods (these lemon poppy seed muffins are another good example). Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these keto ricotta pancakes....

Have you tried gochujang yet? I like to use it when I make my spicy pork ramen, my Korean beef bulgogi bowl , Korean Steak Sandwich and also as a dipping sauce for veggie bibimbap. It’s a korean sauce or paste with a smoky-sweet and slightly spicy flavour. Some brands are spicier than others. I’ve been using the paste (rather than the sauce) a lot recently - which has got a bit of a kick, but the kids will still eat so long as they have a big drink of water!...

Make it fresh, or assemble ahead and reheat when required. Serve in place of plain ole’ mash. Make-ahead mashed potato With the holidays fast approaching, I thought it would be timely to share my favourite way to make mashed potato ahead of time. The thing with make-ahead mash is that you cannot simply reheat it in the microwave or oven. You might think a splash of milk and good stir is all it takes to restore it....

In this post, I’m sharing details about the chef’s knife I can’t live without, as well as the other knives I own and what I use them for. My knife collection Here’s a photo of my personal knife collection. I do not have a replica of all of these in my studio kitchen – only my essential knives which I’m covering in this post! You don’t need all those knives I have above to get started with your knife collection....

“Perfect for feeding an army. You can make ahead, eat it with your hands and I swear, there is not a single dish or pan or utensil to be washed!” In my next life, I hope to be reborn with slim hands and long, elegant fingers instead of pudgy, midget hands. My friends call me “Baby Hands”. Truly! I do everything I can to avoid “hand shots”, but sometimes it just has to be done....

*This image is available to buy from Stockfood Did I ever tell you how much I love chocolate for breakfast? If I didn’t, you may have worked it out already based on those pancakes with white chocolate, or maybe those Nutella Sweet rolls . Unlike the zillion calories and liberal sprinkling of sugar in those examples, today I’m presenting you with a healthy chocolate recipe. It can be done. Taking a break from the fruity smoothies in weeks one and two of my Hot Smoothie series, I went for something creamy, oaty, filling and delicious....
