Punjabi Chicken Curry with Raita

Punjabi Chicken Curry with Raita

Just when I think there couldn’t be another curry to cook, as I have cooked hundreds of them, along comes this deliciously authentic, Punjabi Chicken Curry that I found online. It is an SBS recipe and I have probably changed its authenticity somewhat, as I just...
Pork, Pumpkin & Bean Laksa

Pork, Pumpkin & Bean Laksa

Phwoar…..this was good. So good that my Husband declared it the best meal I have ever cooked. I’m not sure I would go quite that far but the aromatic, spicy, homemade paste with slow cooked pork, sweet pumpkin and fresh crunchy beans did raise the bar...
Green Curry Sausage Rolls

Green Curry Sausage Rolls

What a sensational surprise these babies were!  So easy to make, deliciously moist (very important in Sausage Roll territory) and they made a great snack the next day. You could make these without the salad and do party size for a crowd, guaranteed hit. They were easy...
Crispy Pork Belly Bahn Mi

Crispy Pork Belly Bahn Mi

While travelling through Vietnam last year, we took it upon ourselves to try the traditional, Vietnamese street food Bahn Mi, pretty much every chance we got.  The difference between each region was quite astonishing and I realised that there really are no hard and...

Turmeric Chicken Roti Wraps with Cucumber Salsa

2017 has been a huge year of travel for me, which means a huge year of eating.  Not that I am complaining as I adore travelling and as you know, I adore food.  It also gives me inspiration to eat a little on the lighter side when I get home as it is not just my travel...

I have a few favourite chefs that inspire me but none more so than Valli Little of Delicious fame.  I have all of her cookbooks and they are a constant source of inspiration to me.  I like to think of myself as a bit of a Valli Little because our cooking styles are so...
Sweet & Sour Pork Spare Ribs with Cucumber & Mint Salsa

Sweet & Sour Pork Spare Ribs with Cucumber & Mint Salsa

I reckon these babies, Pork Spare Ribs,  are the unsung hero of the meat department.  Luckily the restaurants don’t seem to have cottoned on so they are still well within budget (unlike pork belly and lamb shanks) and are really easy to cook with.  I’m...
Peking Duck Breast with Shiitake & Brown Fried Rice

Peking Duck Breast with Shiitake & Brown Fried Rice

Woah.  This was an Em’s Food creation that I thought about incessantly for about a week.  I started off thinking noodle salad, moved to pancake, contemplated omelette and ended up with fried rice.  What better marriage than Duck and shiitake mushrooms?  Who...
Soy Chilli Chicken with Cucumber Salad

Soy Chilli Chicken with Cucumber Salad

I will admit when I posted a photo of this on Instagram as it was cooking, I entitled it “Sticky” Soy & Chilli Chicken.  Didn’t quite go as planned but hey!  I’m only human.  The result was not that sticky but I can tell you it still tasted...
