*Thai Fish Cakes Revised Recipe* Thai Fish Cakes have always been my favourite Thai starter so I thought why not upsize them! The quintessential balance of flavours……. hot, salty, sweet and sour that make Thai and other Asian cuisines so darn good are a stand out in...
I wasn’t sure what to call this recipe as Potato Salad didn’t really seem to quite cut it. However, the title would have been a bit ridiculous and a little something like Sublime Potato Salad with Duck Egg & Seeded Mustard Mayonnaise, Boiled Egg, Dill,...
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...
For years my breakfast consisted of a cup of coffee (and I will admit a winnie blue in my younger days) as I was in too much of a rush getting the kids ready, I didn’t have time to eat. Not so anymore. Breakfast has become one of my favourite meals (hence why...
My Husband and I did a trip to Greece a couple of months ago and etched in my memory are these amazing Canapes` that we had at a sensational restaurant in Old Town Mykonos. I will admit, I have added a few more ingredients to mine as their version was total...

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...
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...
When we had our firstborn son, my Husband was in his first year of a pretty demanding five year degree. Being the poor Uni student family that we were, I had to get creative with cooking and that is probably where a large portion of my love of cooking came from....
I have seen many versions of this type of recipe lately, and thought I should probably get on the Zucchini pasta substitute bandwagon ASAP. What can I say? I am a massive follower of food fashion and I am amazed at its ever evolving capabilities. I mean, who ever...
Um, yum. This was a gorgeous take on an Indonesian Satay that is usually served on skewers. I didn’t have time to chop and thread, so I thought I would use tender chicken thigh fillets instead. By all means, use chicken breast if you prefer but I just find that...
