Update: Section added with links to Requested Recipes that have been published! REQUEST A RECIPE – DONE!! Here’s a list of requested recipes that I have published. These are listed with the most recent recipes published at the top. More to come! Lots, lots, lots more…. – Nagi x Request a recipe! I spend an inordinate amount of time deciding which recipes to share. My biggest problem is that there are so many recipes I want to share, things that get me doing the jiggy because it’s so good but then before I dash off to film and photograph the recipe, I pause and think – will my readers get excited about this too?...

This recipe is ideal for serving mushrooms as the centrepiece of a meatless meal, or as a starter for a multi-course dinner! Roasted large mushrooms Everybody loves mushrooms, and this low-effort recipe for serving chunky portobellos makes a great vegetable side to accompany any number of dishes, like sizzling steaks, Sticky Grilled Chicken and Garlic Prawns. With their beefy texture and topped with this flavoursome melted butter, they’re also substantial and interesting enough to star as a main course for vegetarians or omnivores alike....

Whatever method you choose, this is such a unique, tasty, and easy-to-make side dish! The baked version is ready in 30 minutes and the sauteed one in 15. I love mushrooms of all kinds. I enjoy their bold flavor and meaty texture. I have plenty of mushroom recipes on this website, including sauteed mushrooms and stuffed portobello mushrooms. Ingredients I try to keep the ingredients list for my recipes as short as possible, and this one’s no exception....

Beef stroganoff is usually a pretty quick recipe to make (check out my easy steak stroganoff recipe), but cooking beef fast, usually requires a more expensive cut of meat. I wanted to create a stroganoff using a less expensive cut of meat, but for it still to be tender and have bags of flavour. Now, usually stroganoff is a very creamy sauce, and not cooked with stock. But cream - and especially sour cream - doesn’t hold up well to being slow cooked, particularly if it’s the only liquid....

One of the most fabulous new salads I’ve tried in years! Strawberry Salad I’m finding more and more that I’m being nominated as the designated Salad Bringer. Something about people thinking I cook so much for my job, surely I don’t want to make something big to bring along. Pfft! Side salad? I want to do the centrepiece!!! Or a show stopping dessert! 😂 So I’ve been progressively building an arsenal of what I call “Show-Off” salads – to make myself feel better, that I’m making a worthy contribution....

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....

THAI PRAWN MANGO AVOCADO SALAD = SUMMER! Food like this heralds the arrival of summer… we’re just 8 DAYS AWAY AUSTRALIA!!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Living on the upper Northern Beaches, I’m not far from a holiday-house destination for the rich called Palm Beach. The wealthy folk who live in waterfront mansions in the Eastern Suburbs (the Beverly Hills of Sydney) who need to escape the stress and dramas of their lives keep gigantic, stunning holiday houses in this beautiful beachside suburb that is the north most coastal point of Sydney....

Vietnamese Pho recipe This Pho recipe has been in the works for a while now. It’s been quietly made and remade by various RecipeTin family members since our first trip to Vietnam. We’ve compared notes, debated furiously about how the latest iteration compared to the (many) bowls of Pho soup we slurped during our travels, and our favourite Pho restaurants back home here in Sydney. We take our Pho very seriously....

*This image is available to buy from Stockfood Happy Christmas everyone! I’m back after a couple of days off with something to give us a break from food, food and yet more food. One of my Hot Smoothies of course! After a Christmas and Boxing day of complete indulgence, I was ready for a nice, light smoothie for breakfast this morning. However the first sprinklings of snow in Congleton overnight meant there was no way I was going to pour something icy cold down my throat....

Made with sour cream and Dijon mustard, they are wonderfully creamy and decadent. These eggs are pure decadence. They are one of my favorite appetizers. And the best part (well, except for their amazing flavor)? They are very easy to make! In fact, they’re ready in about 20 minutes. In this recipe, the addition of bacon and paprika to deviled eggs adds extra flavor and warmth, making the classic appetizer even more irresistible than it already is....

I love that vibrant orange colour and subtle sweet taste you get from carrot fries. A great change from regular potato fries, and more nutritious too! Sometimes (especially after a period of big/heavy meals) I like to change it up and go a little lighter, and these baked carrot fries are the answer. The added parmesan makes them feel special, so it doesn’t feel like I’m eating diet food....

My version of this tasty snack uses ground beef and no breadcrumbs. I bake the eggs in the oven, and they turn out wonderfully flavorful. Who says snacks must be highly processed? Here’s a recipe for a tasty, filling, high-protein snack that contains the simplest ingredients - ground beef, eggs, and spices. Baked Scotch eggs make a fun, tasty meal or snack. They’re great for dinner, lunch, or breakfast, and can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even straight out of the fridge....

Bacon with Brussels sprout while Brussels sprouts have a love and hate reputation just like marmite, it is definitely a classic addition to your thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or dinner table. The only time my husband would bring back Brussels sprout from the shop is only around Christmas time. He is one of those people who sees the vegetable like marmite spread. You’re either a fan of it or not, he is the latter....

Want to step it up? Try my ultimate Perfect Vanilla Cake. Moist and tender Vanilla Sponge Cake I call this a plain-jane Vanilla Sponge Cake, but it’s really anything but that. Everyone should have a classic vanilla sponge cake in their repertoire, and it took me many years to find the “perfect” one. This is a classic, simple Vanilla Sponge Cake that is made with basic ingredients – eggs, milk, butter, flour, sugar, vanilla, baking powder and salt....

So sorry if you’re a meat-hungry carnivore who just popped over when you saw the word ‘steak’ (try these short ribs if you’re after something really meaty). Today I’m serving up cauliflower steak! Meat free, gluten free, sugar free. OMG this dinner is angelic! Don’t worry I haven’t lost the plot, Wednesday’s recipe consists of pick n’ mix sweets and lemonade. No really. I first made this recipe a few months ago for Superfood Magazine and it opened my eyes to another new way with cauliflower....

Cheese and Bacon Bread Boats When my mother saw a photo of this, she laughed out loud and said “you really come up with some odd ideas, don’t you?”. I paused a moment and wondered, would this be too weird to share? Then I decided, heck, no way! I love this. It is so yummy. It really does taste like a quiche, but with a significantly higher crunch factor. It is SO GOOD that I have to share it!...

Chicken Tetrazzini I call Tetrazzini an Italian pasta bake just because it sounds good to say so, but in actual fact, there is nothing Italian about this creamy-oh-so-cheesy pasta casserole other than the fact that it’s named after an Italian opera singer, Luisa Tetrazzini. It is said that a Chef at a hotel in the States invented this dish especially for her, and you’ll never find it in a (real) Italian cookbook....

Background Though Coronavirus cannot be passed through food because it needs a living host to survive, it does persist on surfaces. The exact time is still unknown, but the World Health Organisation says it may be for a few hours or up to 3 days. (Excerpt here) Accordingly, I sanitise my fresh produce – and in this post I explain how I do it. How to sanitise food I wash all my fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) in warm soapy water just like I’m doing the dishes....

This recipe has been handed down to me through generations and has been tested HUNDREDS of times.Fish Pie with Cheesy Mash is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods. Although it’s usually difficult to get my carnivorous family to skip the meat for a day, I know that my fish pie will always ensure everyone’s plates are clear. Usually I make a large fish pie and plonk it in the middle of the table....

This recipe ticks all boxes for what you would call DELICIOUS! Homemade creamy pasta recipe with restaurants quality. Serve with some homemade garlic bread. Why this creamy mushroom pasta Recipe is so good This is a quick dinner recipe and it takes 20 minutes to come together from start to finish. It is simple, easy and utterly delicious The mushroom is perfectly sautéed and it remained crunchy even after cooking in the creamy garlic sauce for some few minutes....
