This glorious Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowls recipe just screams of summer and the way that I like to serve it, perfect for a small crowd. I marinate succulent and tender thigh pieces in a fragrant and tangy lemongrass infused marinade (for at least four hours for...
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...
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...
This Easy Chicken & Chickpea Curry was just that. Easy for the cook, easy on the purse strings and easy on the waist line. I counted 11 chicken curries on the website and it really goes to show how versatile curry can be. Although they often have similar...
Ok, I am calling this dish Italian Chicken Stew. It really is a version of Chicken Cacciatore but I have a recipe for that already on the website. This one does differ in many ways, but I know that people cook the other version so I need to differentiate. Truth be...
I was doing the groceries at Harris Farm Markets a couple of weeks ago and I don’t know about you, but when I shop there I tend to walk out with way more items than intended. Not only do I never take enough bags in, my credit card also cops a slight beating as I...
I call this my ‘Quick’ Chicken Laksa as it is a cheats version of what I would normally make, as I try as often as possible to make my own paste. In reality, sometimes I just don’t have the time, or the ingredients to make my own and I always keep a...
This one was a bit of an experiment and holy moly, I sure was pleased with the result. I used a poaching technique that I found on the website of Australia’s most successful food blogger, Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats (jealous much). I didn’t use her recipe...
I could taste this Curry Chicken soup recipe for days in my imagination and I can so remember that taste of good old curry powder right back to my Nanna’s cooking when I was a child. That heady smell of spices just takes me right back. However, food has come a...
I recently had a bit of a weird notion that I could actually be a vegetarian or even vegan and that I could really make a go of this blogging thing, as that would be my point of difference (i’m not bad with the veggie recipes). Then I made this braised chicken...
There is nothing that screams comfort food like a baked dinner but sometimes I just can’t be bothered doing the whole kit and caboodle. Sometimes I just like to keep it nice and simple without compromising on flavour yet still sit down to a succulent, tender...
We all know I love a good Asian feed, especially one that I have come up with myself……the only inspiration being my imagination at 4am in the morning. This Thai Coconut Chicken dish had the basis of most Thai meals that I cook, the quintessential aromatics...
