Pork & Prawn Stir Fry

This dish sounds simple - and that’s because it is. Nevertheless, simplicity is often best! You may think that means blandness, but I assure you, this is not the case. What’s the secret, then? Fish sauce! Now before you click your mouse flies straight to the corner of your screen,…

Spinach & Feta Skillet Frittata

Spinach and feta. It doesn’t exactly elicit exuberant expressions in children (we all know of their hatred for leaves), and I’m fairly sure it’s commonly regarded - even by adults - as a match for the fashionably healthy. However, the way I see it, this salty cheese with bittersweet greens is…

Ginger Slow-cooked Pork Belly

Five spice. A mere sprinkling of this Chinese blend is all you need - imho - to create a subtle flavour that permeates the meat. In my experience, people are far too liberal with five spice, and I all too often wonder if I’ll ever stop tasting cloves. Seriously, that stuff is…

Chicken, Herb & Four-Cheese Stuffed Capsicums

When I went to visit my aunt, who never fails to offer me bags of deliciously fresh herbs, the subject of stuffed capsicums came up. I couldn’t get them out of my mind for the next hour. It was only natural then that, when I came across a bag of…

Mince & Pesto Stuffed Capsicums

At the risk of sounding like a carb-obsesso, I was going to name these “Mince & Cheese Stuffed Capsicums” - almost akin to small, classy pies. I came to my senses when I realised they’re nothing like pies. It’s not that they’re worse - they’re simply on a different culinary tier.…

Spiced Slow-cooked Lamb with Rainbow-slaw

With a slow-cooker, life is so much easier. It’s beyond satisfying to lift that lid and be greeted by meat so soft it literally melts. Okay, maybe not quite literally. Nevertheless, this lamb - heady with freshly ground spices - is a wonderful contrast to the crisp and sweet salad.…

Slow-cooked Asian Pork Stuffed Capsicums

It may seem this recipe takes a long time to complete. While this may be true, waiting around for a slow cooker to work its magic is hardly tiresome. On that note - you know your slow cooker. The pork should be cooked long enough to fall apart when pulled,…

Lime, Sesame & Soy Glazed Chicken Nibbles

This chicken is easy. I’m not going to lie - stirring together some ingredients and baking them isn’t exactly a technical masterpiece, yet the result is something truly wonderful. Bronzed and glossy chicken, flecked with chilli and spritzed with lime . . . I don’t really think you can go…

Fragrant Fish Curry

I’d like to make a shout out to my wonderful aunt and uncle, who gave me some freshly caught and filleted kahawai. When my uncle asked if I’d be making a Peranakan dish, an idea blossomed . . . Thus, this curry was born. After my amazing experience with Food…

Chilli & Soy Prawn Skewers with Oriental Salad

My lovely cousin took me out for lunch on Sunday, where I had delicious prawn skewers. Ever since, I’ve been haunted by the feeling that I should recreate something similar in my own, culturally diverse kitchen. Prawns without chillies are lifeless. You may be an avid anti-spice advocate - but,…
