Ok, we are heading out of soup season but for me, the slightest hint of cool weather and I am back into it. I’ve made this Roast Fennel & Tomato soup on two occasions now and I swear on my life, it does not get any easier than this. It is also a...
This is my new favourite ‘Fakeaway’! I absolutely love a Chicken, Wonton & Noodle Soup when I visit our local shopping mall as it never feels like fast food. I think I like this version even better as I know exactly what is in it and it did feel a...
Soup season is upon us and that makes me excited! I just love a good hearty soup full of meat & veg and the options are endless. This Mexican Meatball & Black Bean version is no exception and is deemed to be a family winter favourite. The tender spiced...
The change of seasons just makes me want to cook hale and hearty food, even though the temperature is still mild. My sister gave me a huge Japanese Pumpkin and I just knew that I had to come up with a variation of Pumpkin Soup. Jap pumpkins can be soft and lacking a...
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...
Well wan’t this just a big old bowl of comfort. A pimped up version of potato and leek soup, purely because I had half a cauliflower and a fennel bulb in the fridge that needed to be used and I loathe waste. I roasted the fennel and cauliflower for maximum...
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...
There is nothing like a comforting lamb shank soup to make you feel all warm and cosy in the middle of winter. This recipe (or variations of) have been cooked in my family for four generations and the smell of it cooking just brings back so many memories for me. My...
I would have to say, Duck is probably my favourite meat. I think the reason why is that we don’t have it very often, so it is a bit of a treat. I love Duck of any variety and in any cuisine, however Asian style is the true winning cuisine for Duck, in my eyes....
We don’t eat an enormous amount of potatoes in our house so when I came home from our recent trip to Vietnam to discover a whole bag of them in the pantry that our house sitters had left, I just knew I couldn’t let them go to waste. I was also absolutely...
Since I started this website I have had quite a few requests to produce my version of this aromatic Vietnamese beef soup. What the hell was I waiting for! Tender beef strips ‘cooked’ in a gorgeously scented Asian broth and topped with crunchy aromatic...
This classic French soup has been given a slight Em’s Food makeover as I was unable to get the traditional Gruyere cheese that is the norm. A person of French origin may curse me (Sacre` Bleu!) for tampering with an age old recipe however I had my heart set on...
