Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 How to make Chicken Gyros 🍽️ How to serve 🍲 More fantastic Wrap-Style recipes Easy Chicken Gyros Recipe 💬 Reviews Of course this isn’t authentic chicken gyros. Usually authentic gyros is made from skewering heavily seasoned meat (often chicken or lamb, sometimes pork) and cooking it slowly on a rotisserie (gyro actually translates to rotation). This is my ultra easy version - to get that juicy, crispy, spiced meat in super quick time....

There’s no flour in this sauce, and it’s truly not needed. Just heavy cream, cheddar, and spices. It comes out wonderfully thick and creamy. So I often make cheesy casseroles such as broccoli casserole or cauliflower casserole. They certainly do help the medicine go down! And this creamy keto cheese sauce is another reliable way to achieve the same effect. It’s wonderfully thick, creamy and velvety, yet it contains no flour....

It’s a delicious side dish that goes with so many entrees. And leftovers are good too, whether reheated or added cold to a salad. I must confess: I like simply boiled Brussels sprouts. When they are young and fresh and simply boiled, I find them very tasty, with or without a cheese sauce. Having said that, roasted Brussels sprouts are a delicacy. It’s difficult to believe it when you look at the raw vegetable....

I was corresponding with my friend Maureen from the Orgasmic Chef (pop over to follow her search for food that’s better than….well….you know….!). It was on a completely unrelated matter, but I happened to mention a recipe I wanted to make that day. “I was reading your review of Noosa Beach House,” I wrote. “It inspired me to try out a recipe by Peter Kuruvita. I have some short ribs in the freezer, so I’m going to make these Mexican Braised Beef Short Ribs!...

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Garlic Prawns This is a spectacular way to cook prawns that’s been a family favourite for as long as I can remember. Just 6 ingredients – prawns, garlic, white wine, butter, olive oil and lemon (I get salt and pepper for free). Prawns are delicious plain, so simple is best!Quick to cook – just 6 minutes....

Until a few weeks ago, the best corn I had ever had in my life was David Chang’s Corn with Bacon and Miso butter at Momofuku in NYC. The second best corn I had ever had in my life was Mexican Street Corn in LA (the real deal, called Elotes). Both of these have now been bumped down not 1, but 2 places. For the most unexpected reason. I live in a wonderful area of Sydney, known as the Northern Beaches....

All they need is a drizzle of sweet butter - there’s no need for added sugar. And they’re ready in less than 30 minutes! Peaches are now in season, and I take full advantage of it! Don’t they have the most wonderful fragrance? But as much as I love fresh peaches, I love them even better when they are grilled. Grilling enhances their flavor and brings out their natural sweetness....

“The first bite will really throw you off balance because it’s a flavour that is so familiar and yet, it is in dip form!” Other than the base which is made with a cream cheese mixture instead of a pizza crust, everything else that goes into this dip is what you would put on a pizza, including the pizza sauce. So when I say that this tastes like pizza, it really truly does....

This easy weeknight recipe is ready in under 30 minutes. The chicken comes out so juicy and flavorful! Most stir-fry recipes are very easy. The only “difficult” part is prepping the veggies and mixing the sauce, and even that’s not truly difficult to do. The cooking itself is usually a matter of minutes. Ingredients Like most stir-fry recipes, the list of ingredients may seem daunting. But it’s quick to gather, and the cooking itself happens very fast....

It’s topped with creamy mashed cauliflower instead of the traditional mashed potatoes. It’s wonderfully flavorful and satiating! I love making hearty casseroles, and this is one of my favorites. It’s wonderfully filling, my entire family loves it, and it makes a complete meal, so I don’t have to bother with sides (unless I want to). Plus, I love how this keto shepherd’s pie is just (OK, almost) as delicious as the traditional pie....

Made with fresh apples, in one bowl, this magic muffin recipe is super quick to prepare and I’m guessing you have everything you need to make this!! Stay-moist Apple Muffins! If you’ve ever been disappointed / annoyed at stale, dry muffins the day after making them, these Apple Muffins are going to blow your mind!! They’re super moist on the day and they stay moist for 4 to 5 days!...

I don’t know if it’s “normal” to marinate beef for kebabs, but the reason why I do it is because I reserve premium beef cuts for cooking as steaks or roasting to medium rare for special occasions. So I use better value beef cuts for kebabs and as a consequence, I’ve always marinated them to tenderise, add juiciness and a hint of flavour. I don’t mean to talk down Beef Kabobs, because they are fabulously moorish, and if your budget stretches to using $50/kg beef fillet to make kebabs for a backyard barbie, I want your life!...

Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 How to make Onion Bhaji 🍽️ More Indian sides 📺 Watch how to make it 🍲 Delicious Curries to serve with your Onion Bhaji Onion Bhaji 💬 Reviews A really fantastic side dish or starter to serve with that Indian fakeaway! We love a crispy onion bhaji dipped in sweet chilli sauce. I find onion bhajis can be a little hit and miss when eating out....

I’m trying to cut back on the carbs and OMG I NEED this cake right now. Prawns, cheese, eggs, bacon, almond milk lattes - they sound so good at the time you decide to ‘be good’ but after literally half a day, I want cake, or a crumpet or just a bloomin banana! The whole low carb, high fat thing is one I do when I need a quick fix (way better than the 3 day diet - have you heard of that one?...

Lewis has finally gone off peanut butter! After a couple of years of eating it pretty much every day, he’s finally decided he no longer wants it for breakfast. And I have FOUR jars of peanut butter in the cupboard! Fortunately, like me, he’ll still eat it in cakes and curries (like this Snickers cheesecake and this Thai-style peanut pork). It’s just the sandwich/toast topping that’s now banned. So I’m looking into new ways to use up our stash, and this Peanut Butter and Jelly (or peanut butter and jam in my case, since I’m English) is the clear winner so far....

“Orzo/risoni is one of my quick meal tips. It’s shaped like rice but tastes like pasta and cooks in just 5 minutes.” The main flavour base of this is pesto. When basil is in season or if you happen to have a friend with a “basil problem” in their herb patch (life is hard….), I instantly think of making pesto. The only problem is that homemade preservative-free basil doesn’t keep that well in the fridge – it tends to lose it’s bright green colour within a day and by the end of the week, it’s a rather unappetising greyish colour....

They’re ready in just minutes, and you can serve them as an appetizer or as the main course. Some types of meat and seafood are innately delicious. The only real requirement from the cook is not to ruin them by overcooking. This is true for baked salmon, lamb chops, and definitely scallops. Seared scallops are delicious and surprisingly easy to make. I almost always have a bag of them in my freezer....

I got my first digital pressure cooker this year and I haven’t stopped cooking with it. I love the fact that I could have beans (black-eyed peas) from my kitchen to the table in 20 minutes (10 minutes active cooking time). Cooking this hearty easy loaded potato soup in the electric pressure cooker was a breeze in the pack. potato soup is one of the easy pressure cooker soup recipes you can whip up as this was all done in 10 minutes excluding the time it took for the pressure to build up inside the pot....

Pressure Cooker Shredded Chicken This shredded chicken was one of the first meat I cooked in my electric pressure cooker and it was perfect. In fact, I made it twice in one week for barbequed shredded chicken and chicken stir fry. I was totally swooned and I haven’t looked back since. It is handy to have shredded chicken in the fridge or freezer as it is easy and quick to put together for weeknight dinner and lunch....

I’m a relatively new smoothie convert. I had a weird combination at a juice bar a few weeks ago – spinach, cucumber, mint, celery and apple. I half expected it to taste like chilled-infusion-of-garden-waste-bin, but it was actually really nice and refreshing! So much so, I ordered myself a new smoothie blender that very evening. I’m a terrible sucker for advertising – through general daily life or via TV. Chris has to grab the remote to save me from myself if I flick across a shopping channel....
