I had me a serious hankering for slow cooked pork last week and this jogged my memory of a Jamie Oliver recipe I cooked many years ago. I did a little investigating, only to find that it was no longer on his website but I did find many renditions of it, cooked by...
I have been meaning to make an Em’s Food version of this delightful Street style Vietnamese Meatball Salad ever since I visited Vietnam in 2017. What the hell have I been waiting for? This was so damn good, super duper easy and so refreshingly light that I was...
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...
I thought I had best have a crack at the latest food craze to take Australia by storm. Japanese Ramen restaurants are popping up left, right and centre and I have to say…….I’m loving it! It is such clean eating, low in fat, big on flavour and easy...
On a recent trip to Beechworth in Victoria, I had the most gorgeous starter of pork dumplings in broth in a fantastic pub called The Empire Hotel. It was rich yet light and immensely satisfying, although not too satisfying as I still managed to fit in a 300gm sirloin...
I have a little obsession with Japanese inspired food at the moment. I just love the fresh, clean and zesty flavours of wasabi and pickled ginger and I am also a tad partial to crumbed meat. You may not think it is the healthiest option but if your oil is at the...
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but I am rather a big fan of food. All food. However, given the opportunity, it is the old fashioned classics that I really love, particularly when I bring them up to date with a whopping makeover. Rissoles were a staple...
You must all realise by now that I like to take humble staples and turn them into something good. Well this took the humble old Pork Schnitty to something GREAT! The unique nutty flavour of quinoa flakes replaced the boring old breadcrumb. The smooth, sweet and...
This was a triumphant little dish that I came up with, using pretty much what I had in the fridge. Not having kids in the house at the moment means that I need to get a tad more creative, otherwise I will be throwing out a whole heap of fresh food. This was...
What is not to love about this dish? Tender, Cajun spice rubbed pork fillets resting on a fresh, zesty salad of smokey grilled corn, protein packed black beans and sweet grape tomatoes. It would have been pretty good if I had stopped there but I felt it just needed...
Well this is an extremely exciting moment for me. Recipe Number 400!! That is a whole lot of foodie love, a hell of a lot of eating, cooking, writing, insomnia and a lot of blood, burns, sweat & tears. There have been a few failures along the way and I have to...
Delicious, spicy chorizo takes centre stage in this super easy Ragu. Cooked low and slow this rich, meaty sauce was the perfect accompaniment to long, slippery strands of fettuccine and a generous smattering of sharp tangy parmesan. Oh yeah. Prep time: 20...
