Ready in just 30 minutes, this flavorful dish is an interesting variation on eating them raw. Leftovers are great too! I don’t know about you, but I think tomatoes are wonderful whether raw or cooked. I adore them raw in a tomato salad or in this amazing Caprese salad, but I also love them cooked. Cooking really concentrates and brings out their unique flavor. And it has a way of making them more savory than sweet....
These are like the Italian version of Breakfast Enchiladas! The inspiration to make these came after a particularly embarrassing incident. I hate traffic and Sydney traffic is notoriously bad, especially when you live in an area where it’s one lane roads in and out. I live quite far from the city so when I have morning meetings, I like to make them early so I can beat the traffic. They are usually meetings over breakfast but I am one of those people that need to eat asap upon waking, otherwise I feel ill....

Turmeric contains an active ingredient that is a natural antioxidant with other anti-inflammatory benefits. Here is a simple recipe on how to make turmeric golden milk. The first time I heard about turmeric with milk was on a Facebook group I belonged to. Someone asked for a calming beverage they could take before bed and infective too to aid night of better sleep. This delicious miracle golden milk recipe was recommended....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Wonton soup If you’ve ever had store bought frozen wontons or wontons from a good value Chinese place that probably uses frozen wontons, you will be amazed how different homemade ones are. The main difference is the texture of the filling – because homemade wontons are made with just pure fresh ingredients, NO mysterious fillers! I think wontons are one of those things that many people don’t think to make, assuming they are really tedious and take ages....
Just look at that soft and flaky fall-apart fish. Who needs a plate? I could just eat this straight off the baking tray!! Glazed with a salty, sticky chilli sauce it goes perfectly with some fluffy white rice or even some vegetable ribbons, like the ones I serve with my Thai fish cakes. I’ve got a bit of a thing for sticky glazes lately. I swear that if I came back in another life as an insect, i’d be one of those annoying wasps that hangs around the sticky puddle of ice cream on the floor....
These incredible keto waffles are ready in just 30 minutes, and they freeze well, so you can make a few batches and enjoy them throughout the week. These waffles are so good! They are delicious, wonderfully crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. They smell amazing as they bake and they have a pleasant vanilla flavor. In fact, I like them so much, that I sometimes make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for easy weekday breakfasts....
I make them with ground beef, but the same recipe works beautifully with ground pork as well. These meatballs are the best! They combine the fun of eating meatballs with the extra fun of a sweet, sticky sauce. My kids adore them and love helping me make them. But just as importantly, the grownups love them too! The meatballs themselves are very well seasoned - their flavor is quite complex and the Asian-style glaze greatly enhances them....
Loaded with herb garlic roasted vegetables, take this to work, make it for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. Use my frittata recipe formula to make this your own – try chicken, ham, spinach and artichoke, salmon and broccoli, or Tuscan antipasto! Easy Baked Vegetable Frittata Traditionally, frittata is started on the stove then transferred to the oven to finish cooking. This is the way I cook frittatas if I’m sautéing bacon or similar – so I can cook the frittata in the bacon fat (SO GOOD!...
I’m one of those people who panics if I don’t know where my next source of food is coming from. If we’re going out for the day, I like to research nearby restaurants and cafes. If we’re going on a long drive, I’ll pack snacks, and also check out en-route eateries. Even going for a hike involves checking if there’s a tearoom at the end. If there isn’t, then I’ll rustle up a quick picnic....
The onion gravy is to-die for but only requires 4 things: onion, garlic, beef broth/stock and flour. That’s it! Bangers and Mash I have to hand it to the Brits, they come up with great names for food. Bubble and Squeak – roast leftovers fried up. Spotted Dick (get your mind out of the gutter! It’s a pudding shaped like a log studded with raisins!). Toad In the Hole – Sausage in a Yorkshire Pudding batter....
This simple turkey brine is infused with citrus, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, crushed garlic, brown sugar and herbs. With this turkey brine recipe, you are promised a perfectly moist turkey that won’t only just be good for Thanksgiving or Christmas, but at any needed time. This brined turkey remained moist even for leftover recipes. Today’s post is a quick one, as I recently shared my quick chicken brine recipe at thanksgiving....
Here’s the thing about Asian families (I’m betting we aren’t the only Asian family with this attitude!). When it comes to faux Asian food (modern / contemporary / fusion Asian), we are snobs. We love it when it’s done right. But there’s a line – and if it’s on the wrong side of that line, we turn our noses up at it. So when I announced that I was going to make a “faux Asian beef soba” meal for a family dinner, the response was……well, underwhelming....
I’m on the meatballs again! We’ve had regular meatballs, one-pan spaghetti and meatballs, mozzarella stuffed meatballs, hidden veg meatballs , Smoky Meatballs, Chinese Curry Meatballs and even Halloween Meatballs. I haven’t even started on Swedish meatballs, Sticky Asian meatballs, BBQ’d meatballs or curried meatballs yet!. Okay, writing the word meatballs twelve times in the first few lines of a post is pretty ridiculous. I’ll stop now. So I made these, erm…....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! San Choy Bow – Chinese Lettuce Wraps The Chinese name for Lettuce Wraps is San Choy Bow which is how it’s written in menus at Chinese restaurants here in Sydney, though the spelling varies widely from place to place and I’m yet to find a definitive answer for what the proper spelling is. I may not know how to spell it, but I do know you’re going to love them!...
Are you having a party this Christmas? Unfortunately we won’t be, as we haven’t quite finished our kitchen yet. The oven and hobs are being connected today, but we’ve still got a little way to go in terms of finishing work surfaces, building a dining table (Chris is making the dining table!) and getting other bits of furniture. So we’ll be travelling around to various relatives in the hope of being fed and watered....
Even for a carb-loving girl like myself, these parmesan courgette (zucchini) fries are a great alternative to toast for dipping into those soft-boiled eggs. I’m pretty atrocious at dieting, but for the past 9 days, I have been following what Chris calls ’the ridiculous diet’. It was really an attempt at losing a few pounds in a way that stopped me getting bored (I generally never last more than 3....
It’s one of those meals that has everyone at the table silent, except for the sounds of chomping and lip-licking. I’ve learned that I need to portion these out onto plates, rather than putting a platter in the middle of the table, otherwise arguments occur. Yes, there might be the right amount of tacos on the serving platter for the number of people eating, but if ONE piece of fish drops out of a taco, things can get physical!...
