Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 Watch how to make it. 🍽️ What to serve it with 🍲 More sauces and additions to your salad Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe 💬 Reviews My go-to recipe for a quick salad dressing that works on all kinds of salads. Olive oil for the base of the dressing - this will help the dressing coat the salad leaves. You can use regular or extra virgin, depending on what flavour you prefer....

Everyone loves a good take-out curry, but homemade chicken curry is something special. Even more so if you raid that spice cabinet and make everything from scratch. Served up in the middle of the table with a mountain of rice, some pita bread and mango chutney and you have a feast that’ll beat anything on that take-out menu! I make this one in my slow-cooker - but you could also cook it in a dutch oven or oven-proof pan....

My kids often vote for for spaghetti and meatballs - ’the sausagey ones!’. I rarely argue with that - it’s one of those meals where you can pretty much guarantee that everyone will clear their plates. And honestly, it doesn’t seem to matter how many meatballs I make, they ALWAYS seem to ALL get eaten. What do we need? Full list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe at the bottom of this post....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Spring Roll recipe When was the last time you ordered spring rolls at a Chinese restaurant? Did you bite into it and wonder what was actually inside? And if it was a really bad one, you may have even been treated to oil squirting into your mouth when you bit into it. That pretty much describes the run-of-the-mill spring roll experience at local Chinese restaurants and takeout places in food courts....

Jump to:🍲 Love a stir-fry beef recipe? Try these Sweet and Tangy Crispy Beef with Broccoli 💬 Reviews Do you like sticky, crispy Chinese beef but worry about how brown and lacking-in-veg it can often look?I’m solving all of those problems with broccoli 😁 Ok, it doesn’t make this dish healthy, but a bit of green can only be good right? Looking at the recipe, it sounds like a lot of sugar and soy sauce (and it is), but the combination with the lime juice just works to give that beautiful sweet/sour/salty taste....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Thai Beef Salad I’m probably completely biased, but I think that Asian salads are the best in the world. I love them because they are interesting and the dressings are so good. The chances of me ordering a salad as a dish (not a side) at any restaurant other than an Asian one is almost zero....

I’ve always been a sucker for mashed potatoes. As a kid, whenever it was roast dinner day, I’d ask for a large portion of mashed potatoes and gravy and as little as possible of everything else. Jump to:🥔 What is the best potato for mashing? What to use to mash the potatoes Can you make them ahead? Recipes that use mashed potatoes: 👀 READ THIS!!! MY TOP TIPS How to Make the BEST mashed potatoes!...

Harajuku is most famous for being the playground of the alternative youth of Tokyo! Takeshita Street is the centre of this weird little universe, where you can see Harajuku girls dressed in kawaii and cosplay outfits, boggle at bizarre fashion, browse quirky shops, eat crazy snack creations and get swept up in the weekend crowds swarming down the strip. This is the crazy side of Japan that’s a must-see! But there’s plenty more than just crazy teen culture to explore in this and its neighbouring areas....

This is a twice baked soufflé, because..…well, it’s baked twice. Firstly to make the soufflé, for it to puff up in all it’s glory, then secondly to reheat it, puff up again and for the cream poured over it to become bubbly and golden. To make-ahead, you simple freeze it after the first time you bake it, then defrost it completely before baking again with the cream. And you will be absolute amazed how much it puffs up the 2nd time you bake it – by my measurements, it actually puffed up slightly more than the first time!...

No secret ingredients. Just a secret Japanese baking technique applied to classic butter cupcakes ingredients. It’s like…. magic! ✨ It’s notoriously hard to find a really good, classic cupcake recipe. Many promise game changing techniques, but all too often they fall short. So why should you believe me when I say this is the last Vanilla Cupcake recipe you’ll ever use? Because this is already a tried and proven recipe made using the batter from my Vanilla Cake....

I have to be honest – I’m not a fan of leftovers. Partly because I love cooking and food so much, I want to try something new or different as often as possible. So I’m not particularly enthusiastic about eating the same meal more than once. However, I do get a secret thrill out of trying to transform leftovers into something interesting. And these slow cooked beef cheeks are one of my favourites because you can make three stunning meals: 1....

This keto bread is so versatile. It has a lovely spongy texture that readily soaks up butter, sugar-free honey, or jam. Keto substitutions can be a lifesaver. They can mean the difference between sticking with your diet or giving up because you’re feeling deprived and miss the old standbys. This recipe is one of my favorite substitutions. This 90-second keto bread is a low-carb microwave bread made with coconut flour....

The best part is the crispy garlic crostini hidden under the fish that soaks up all that delicious sauce … Pesce all’ Acqua Pazza: Italian poached fish The literal translation of this Italian dish is “fish in crazy water”. Maybe because who would ever think that fish poached in a water-based sauce could be so delicious??! That’s crazy! 😉 While some have used the name as a licence to add all sorts of things to it, it’s actually supposed to be a simple dish based on three core ingredients: wine, tomato and herbs....

Bacon in air fryer If you’ve still got your air fryer in the box, please now is the time to start using it. I started using mine on the day it was delivered and so far, I am loving it! The fact that I can cook bacon in an air fryer is a plus for me. Super crispy and delicious! You might think bacon should be one of the easiest things to cook....

Air fryer Salmon bites recipe This air fryer salmon bite is unbelievably effortless to make, anyone can do it! Furthermore, it’s fail-proof and can be ready for your dinner table in no time. One of the key steps in making this recipe is removing the skin of the salmon. However, this extra chore can be avoided if you buy a skinless one. I seasoned the fish bites with spices and herbs that complement the salmon so deliciously, (smoked paprika, dill, and thyme)....

When I knew I was going to be leaving work, I pictured myself making fresh bread every day in my spotless house, and then following this up with some recipe development, laid-back food photography and writing - all whilst maturely sipping on espressos and congratulating myself on my gastronomic inventions. Sooooo here’s a picture of a cheese sandwich. Ok, it may not knock Heston’s socks off, but it is actually a really really good cheese sandwich....

Browned butter and sweet soy sauce. It is a combination made in heaven, one that you may not have thought of but I hope you try it at least once because it is magical! Sweet soy sauce – otherwise known as Kecap Manis – is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce which is available at major supermarkets (Woolworths and Coles in Australia) OR you can easily make with just soy sauce and sugar....

Simply bake them in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. And if you want them extra-crispy, leave them in a warm oven for 30-60 more minutes. Wings are probably my favorite part of the chicken. I find that the ratio of juicy meat to crispy skin is just perfect, more so than in any other chicken part. I make this recipe often. Cooking wings in the oven instead of frying them is so easy, and they turn out wonderfully crispy....
