And this is how they make it. (It’s easy!) Chinese Crispy Pork Belly recipe In my humble opinion, the Chinese are the undisputed king of two things: crispy duck and crispy pork belly. It’s unlikely that I will ever share a proper Peking Duck recipe because it’s too hard to make properly in an ordinary home kitchen. Pork belly, on the other hand, is totally doable. That juicy, seasoned flesh....
They’re so good, it’s surprising how easy they are to make at home. They’re ready in just over 30 minutes! Fruits are sweet and delicious all on their own. But one can’t deny that the combination of chocolate and fruit is amazing and that a coating of rich, dark chocolate greatly enhances the flavor of fruits. Winter is the perfect time to make chocolate-covered oranges! I adore oranges - they are truly nature’s dessert....
When you see how easy this is to make, you won’t ever be tempted to use a shortcut version again. After all, if we’re going to make a chocolate pie, let’s do it right! 🙂 Chocolate Cream Pie I have serious self control issues around homemade baked goods. I never buy cakes or bars or even muffins in my normal day to day life. I never have. I just never feel the urge....
This post was written in collaboration with The Saucy Fish Co. All opinions are my own. Easy weeknight meal alert! We can’t always make everything from scratch, and when you need a mid-week family dinner in a hurry, I’m certainly not adverse to grabbing something out of the freezer section at the shop. The Saucy Fish Co. recently sent me some of their new Cod fishcakes (with a Smashing Cheddar and Parsley centre)....
You’ll love the creamy broth (but no cream!), and how the tender beans absorb the flavour. Leave some of the ham tender and juicy, pan fry some to make it crispy. It’s the best of both worlds! Leftover Ham Bone Soup! Ham bones are highly coveted in my circle . Each year, I gather as many as I can and stash them in my deep freezer. The Christmas just gone, I went one step further and gifted several Glazed Hams under the guise of being a thoughtful friend....

This one has been tested, then re-tested several times.Not because it needed it. Just because I like it 😉 We’re using a relatively cheap cut of meat and cooking it in the oven for about 2 hours altogether....
Sometimes you just need a large bowl of creamy, cheesy pasta with chunky bites of salty meat.Nothing else. No salad ’to make it healthy’, no hidden veggies. Just all the calorific goodness. Utter comfort food. I’m sure treating yourself to a dinner like this once in a while does your soul a bit of good anyway 😋 Top with a little fresh parsley, just to show willing with a little bit of green 😁 Eat whilst wearing pyjamas and thick socks, sat in front of the TV....

With sweetness from carrots and peas, a sprinkle of cashews and a garlic flavour base, this is a rice side dish that will jazz up any meal. Or serve it with crispy fried eggs for a super quick meal! Curried Rice – think of the possibilities! Just 2 hours ago, I left 8 big containers of this Curried Rice with the wonderful team at my local veterinary clinic (one of the regular places to which I take surplus food) along with a note that went along the lines of this: “Curried basmati rice, not too spicy, fab rice side but can also eat plain....
Egg Foo Young – terrific quick dinner idea! I know most of us think of omelettes as a breakfast thing and no matter how often I endorse it for dinner, I feel like it will never stick. But trust the Chinese to come up with a way to plant omelettes firmly in the dinner rotation!! What is Egg Foo Young? Egg Foo Young is a Chinese omelette – egg mixed with vegetables and usually some type of protein (prawns / shrimp or pork are common) then smothered in a Chinese stir fry sauce....
A great fish seasoning spice mix This might be “just” a simple recipe for a spice mix, but it’s excellent one to know because of its versatility and will serve you for years to come. It might even end up being THE seasoning for fish you end up using forever more!!! This mix is based on the ingredients printed on Old Bay Seasoning tins.

To say this thing is magnificent would be the understatement of the year. Words fail me. It’s that good! Flan Pâtissier – French Custard Tart Flan Pâtissier is a French custard tart that is made with a pastry crust filled with vanilla custard and baked. Also known as Parisian Flan, you’ll find it in every suburban bakery all across France. It blows my mind to know that this pastry is so commonplace for the French that to them it’s considered no big deal as far as pastries go....
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....
These mini pizzas were an invention out of necessity. I had friends with kids around and had planned to make mini pizzas. For the kids, that is. (OK that’s a lie. For us grown ups too). In typical form, I thought I was super duper organised, whirling around the kitchen with the music pumping, preparing the food for lunch. Only to realise at the last minute that I had forgotten to buy frozen pastry for the mini pizzas....
This casserole makes excellent leftovers that taste even better the next day and can be quickly reheated in the microwave. Whenever I’m not sure what to make for dinner, I make this tasty casserole. Making it couldn’t be easier! Brown some ground beef, add cream cheese and spices, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, and bake. This ground beef casserole is keto and low-carb, low calorie too if that’s a concern to you....
This post is sponsored by Hotel Chocolat. Halloween is coming! This year I’m looking forward to it more than ever, as we’re having a little party at our house! A group of us mums and dads who all attended the same antenatal classes nearly 12 years ago, get together a few times a year, and Halloween is one of those times. Gracey really wanted to have the party at ours last year, but our kitchen was still several months away from being fully finished....
I wonder how many people will look at the pics and go ‘Mmmmmmm’. Only to read further, find out it’s made with avocado – and be instantly disgusted at the thought of avocado and chocolate. I know I would have - about 12 months ago… I mean, why do people do these things – use a natural, healthy ingredient and try to turn it into something that resembles junk food or ‘naughty’ food (erm, like my sweet n’ salty kale crisps)....
I’m in love with a doughnut. A doughnut that has enough sweet stuff to make it feel indulgent and satisfying, but plenty of healthy stuff in there to keep your halo intact. A doughnut that can be eaten for breakfast with zero guilt. Yay!! Those ruby red grapefruits are looking so good right now. I bought a load of them for breakfast, and watched with a slightly wicked smirk as my kids had one for breakfast - all the while pulling their pinched ‘grapefruit faces’....
Whether you make them at home or go ahead and buy them, I’m sure you’ll agree that they are the perfect low-carb and keto solution for a snack attack! These homemade chicharrones are so good and so very easy to make! I make this recipe whenever I get a chance to visit the local Hispanic market, where I can buy pork skin. This is not a difficult recipe to make....
It’s easy to make, keeps well in the fridge, and pairs well with many seafood dishes. I don’t typically feel that seafood dishes “need” a sauce, but I make an exception for this one because it’s so flavorful. My homemade version is made with creamy Greek yogurt. Since we eat a lot of seafood, I make it quite often - about every other week. It keeps well in the fridge for several days, which is another big plus of this recipe....
