Make this with chicken or even entirely meat free. With a sauce this good, you can put anything in it – and it will taste amazing! Thai Green Curry recipe The single most requested recipe is finally here!! We love the colour, the spiciness, and how fragrant the creamy sauce is. Along with Pad Thai, Chicken Satay and Thai Red Curry, green curry is the gold standard by which we rate Thai restaurants....

Poke Bowl recipe I may be a true-blue Aussie, but the Japanese blood in my veins demands that Poke Bowls be more than just another trendy “healthy” recipe that tastes just okay….. So here are the 3 things that will make you fall in love with this Poke Bowl even if you’ve had meh Poke Bowl experiences in the past!! It’s pronounced “poke-ay” bowls, it rhymes with “okay”. But I always mispronounce it “poke”, as in rhymes with “bloke”!...

Try it with Chinese Chicken Wings, Asian Glazed Salmon or Asian Chilli Garlic Prawns (Shrimp)! Vermicelli Noodle Salad Asian cuisine doesn’t really have the equivalent of Western “go to” side salads like Coleslaw, Rocket and Parmesan, or Garden Salads. So I created this Vermicelli Noodle Salad as a simple, refreshing salad to accompany Asian foods. It’s one of those sides that I called a two-in-one, being that it’s made with vermicelli noodles, which helps fill out the meal instead of having rice on the side, plus plenty of crunchy fresh vegetable....

Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 How to make this White Chilli Chicken 🍽️ What to serve it with 🍲 More fantastic Spicy Chicken recipes White Chilli Chicken Recipe 💬 Reviews Regular chilli con carne appears on our menu at least once a week. Chris is the Chilli Con Carne master, and frankly I was getting a bit jealous.So I decided to make my own white chicken chilli version!...

(And here’s my ongoing full Australian book-tour schedule here.) “Why are all these people here?” my mother asked me, baffled, genuinely confused as she peeked out from backstage at an audience of 400. “Well, I think they’re here for me…..?” I said, uncertainly, just as confused. “You mean they PAID to come and hear you talk? I don’t understand. YOU?” she said, brows furrowed in total disbelief. I wish I had captured that conversation on camera!...

It doesn’t take much for me to get enthused about get togethers with my fabulous friends. Even last Friday when I was out with the girls and we were talking about our annual Christmas party (yes – 6 months out), I instantly raised my hand and chirped “I’ll do the food!”. Whether it’s a game, a birthday, baby shower, hen’s night or out of town visitor, I’ll jump on any opportunity to host a get together....

Crispy, gooey, cheesy, salty, moreish. Yes all good words to describe these ham hock croquettes and things that I like to eat in general. Have you had ham hock before? I first had it a few years ago when I spotted it at the deli counter looking like a delicious cross between pulled pork and baked ham. I cooked it into a pie (something like this chicken and ham pie if I remember correctly) and I was sold....

Making a Balsamic Vinegar Dressing is as simple as remembering this: 1 part vinegar to 3 parts olive oil. That’s all you need to know. My job is done. Signing off! Just kidding!!! 😉 I have one more little thing to share. The better the quality of the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, the better the dressing. There is nothing wrong with making this using your run-of-the-mill balsamic vinegar and olive oil....

Steak without sauce? not in our house… I’m not the biggest fan of blue cheese usually, but made into a sauce for steak? That’s a whole other story.It’s a strong, tangy cheese with a distinct punchy flavour, that when melted into the cream, makes this sauce so luscious and creamy. Even the kids love it. Made in less than ten minutes, you can also have this as a dip with potato wedges or over pasta, it’s so versatile and delicious....

This 30-minute recipe is ideal for a weeknight dinner, and the leftovers are perfect in a salad! Flank steak is interesting. It’s incredibly flavorful - I love its beefy taste - but it’s a tough cut of meat with thick, prominent muscle fibers. So you’ll want to either cook it quickly over high heat as we’re going to do here, or slowly in a low oven as I do when making homemade beef jerky....

It’s the ultimate weeknight dinner - easy, fast, and delicious. Everyone loves it - grownups and kids! This is one of my favorite shrimp recipes. It’s so tasty and it’s so very easy to make, and my family loves it too - yes, even the Picky Eater! 🍤 This simple recipe flavors the shrimp with a tasty mixture of butter and garlic. Cooked to perfection and ready in just 20 minutes, these tasty shrimp are like fast food....

Even if you’re not a fan of them in their raw state (I’m not), I think you will love them oven-baked. They are mellow and sweet. I don’t really like raw onions. I find them too sharp. But something magical happens when you cook them. They become creamy and mild, almost sweet. Baking onions in the oven makes them tender, browned, and very flavorful. This is a recipe that I like to make because it’s truly easy, yet it produces delicious results....

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in Cajun spice mix? I honestly never had, but then it occurred to me that the flavour is so unique there must be some special ingredient in there that I’d never tasted before on its own. Maybe a dried root grown on a remote island, under the branches of the boojimana tree (totally made that up) that can only be harvested 3 days a year....

Galaxy Caramel chunks and Nutella. Do other people look at those ingredients and thing ‘hmmm they need cake to bring them together’. Or is that just the way my really greedy brain works? These blondies are the kind of cake you need when you’ve had a bad day. Or maybe it just needs to be a bit cold and wet outside, and you want something to go with that pot of tea....

Leftovers are very good too, and you can quickly reheat them in the microwave. I love spaghetti squash. The first time I microwaved it, then raked a fork back and forth and saw the beautiful pasta-like strands, I was hooked. It’s delicious, affordable, and fun to eat! This spaghetti squash casserole is one of my favorite recipes to make with this tasty root vegetable. It’s cheesy, delicious, and so easy to make!...

The light sponge, no-spoon-required-handleability(real word?) of a cherry cake combined with the buttery, crunchiness of a crumble pudding. Yes, this is 2 puddings in one, and all the better for it. I love a good crumble, but I have to admit that July is not really crumble weather. So I think I’ll just add crumble toppings to everything instead – like this delicious pud, or my apple crumble cookies. I’m also considering crumble brownies, crumble cupcakes and maybe ice cream crumble?...

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Chicken Fricassée Pronounced “fri-ka-say”, this is a terrific recipe to get a cosy stew fix any night of the week without hours of slow cooking. This dish is a traditional French chicken stew made with a creamy white sauce with mushrooms, instead of the more common rich, dark brown sauce like you ordinarily see with stews, such as with Coq au Vin and this baked Chicken Stew....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Chilli Con Carne recipe Texans have claimed Chili as their own, even going as far to legally make it the official dish of Texas (!!?). Though apparently, there’s evidence that traces the origins of Chili to Spain. Imagine that! 🙂 Die-hard Texan Chili fanatics will tell you it’s illegal to add beans into Chili. They’ll also tell you there’s no canned tomato in it, it’s made with cubes of beef not mince/ground beef, and that it MUST be made using whole dried chilis, rehydrated then pureed....

Can I label this as fusion food? Google tells me fusion food is a mixture of different culinary traditions or cultures. Hmmm. I guess that’s a no then. We could maybe go with eclectic. But I HATE that word. Do you have a word that you just hate? No logical reason, you just have an unwavering dislike for it. Eclectic is that word for me. In fact these are the only two times I’ve ever written it down....

Baked beans are a breakfast staple in Australia and the UK. Actually, baked beans are a meal staple full stop – breakfast, lunch and dinner! I lived my university days surviving on more baked beans than I care to remember. Open the can, pour onto toast, and microwave. It’s almost like a right of passage being a uni student. Canned baked beans and tuna on rice. Spend as little as possible on food so you have as much as possible for beer....
