Beef, Chicken, Pork and Lamb Recipes
Chinese BBQ Duck, Mushroom & Noodle Soup
One of the fast foods I love and crave the most is a good Asian style noodle soup. We have a local place at two locations within a 10km radius and if I am hungover, cold, hot, happy, sad or all these combined, I make a beeline and order either the Chinese BBQ Duck...
Coffee Spiced Pork Belly, Grilled Pineapple Salsa
This is a sponsored post Something really quite exciting happened to me the other day. I was approached by my Friends Australian Pork to collaborate with not just them, but Australia's Number 1 Organic Coffee Company, Republica Organic to produce a recipe...
Pulled Pork Burrito Bowls
This is a brilliant pulled pork recipe showcasing the unsung hero of the pork community in my book, pork shoulder. I threw this in the pressure cooker for an hour and out it came, literally falling apart, ready to be paired with any Mexican style meal......taco's,...
Greek Beef, Oregano & Halloumi Meatballs
I love Meatballs. I feel like that is all I need to say except it is probably not enough. Meatballs are genius. You can load them up with pretty much anything, have them on a burger, in a sauce or soup. They can be inspired by so many different cuisines.....Greek...
Quinoa Kiev, Pea Puree, Spring Salad
We often look at meals with lots of butter as naughty, particularly if they are covered in bread crumbs and accompanied by mashed potato. As much as I love a naughty meal every now and then, I like to look at new ways of cooking them with a little less naughtiness as...
Vietnamese Beef Noodle Bowls
These Vietnamese Beef Noodle Bowls are the absolute epitome of a healthy summer meal. Full of protein, loaded with fresh, healthy vegetables, a small amount of fat, a few nuts, a few carbs in the form of a rice noodle, a zesty, sharp dressing and a load of punchy...
Vegetarian/Vegan
Tomato & Sumac Onion Salad
I had a little Middle Eastern inspired dinner party last weekend and true to form, I had too many bubbles and forgot to photograph the main event. It happens Every. Single. Time. I will be making the main event again as it was a divine Spiced Lamb Backstrap with...
Vegan Cauliflower Taco’s
Woah, woah, woah, these Cauliflower Taco's have totally bowled me over. I am not Vegan but occasionally like to dabble in creating some Vegan recipes. I see it as a bit of challenge and Vegan food is undeniably healthy. For me it is all about balance and these...
Cob Dip with Charred Corn, Cheddar & Jalapeno’s
I have always wanted to make a Cob Dip but truth be told, they scare me. Once I get my hands on that cheesy goodness and gloriously crusty bread, I fear I won't be able to stop and as it turns out, I was right. I searched the internet high and low for the right recipe...
Whole Baked Cauliflower with Harissa & Yoghurt
I think it is absolutely astounding how far the humble vegetable has come in the last 10 years. Gone are the days of boring side dishes, when the vegetables resembled anything but a good healthy veg and more like Boarding School or Hospital fodder or your last meal on...
Mediterranean Grilled Vegetable Salad
I had both my boys home for dinner the other day and I always like to make a bit of a fuss when we are all together. I had an abundance of Mediterranean vegetables in the fridge (fennel, zucchini, red & yellow capsicum) that I thought would pair really well with...
Vegan Chickpea Curry Stuffed Eggplants
Ok, so I want to make one thing clear. I am definitely not a vegan and while I respect vegans and what they stand for, I am definitely not becoming a vegan. I did however, want to challenge myself to cook a vegan meal and not just any vegan meal, because that could...
The Basics
Malaysian Curry Paste
Another winning Curry Paste to add to the basics collection. Fragrant and delicious, my Husband claimed this to be the best dish I ever made and it all came down to a few fresh ingredients whacked in a blender. Too easy 🙂 Makes approximately 1 cup 5 cloves of garlic, peeled 2 long […]
Thai Red Curry Paste
Being the busy little bees that we are these days, it is so much easier to just open a jar or tin of Red Curry Paste and be done with it. But if you can spare 5 minutes it is actually so easy to make and tastes so much better…… fresher. I have to admit, […]
Thai Yellow Curry Paste
The more I cook, the more I want to make things from scratch. A. Because I know exactly what I am putting in it, and B. It is so easy. This fresh, mild and aromatic Thai Yellow Curry Paste can be used in Curries, Laksa or as a rub on chicken, fish or pork. Another […]
