Ever need a quick, tasty, nutritious snack or meal? Sure, there are heaps of quick-fix foods you can turn to, but I know lots of them leave you feeling bloated, guilty, and slightly ill. Sometimes, you just want a proper meal - but what about time restrictions? There’s an easy…
I know, cooking eggs in the microwave isn’t exactly rocket science. However, this dish - spicy, soft, melty, and creamy - deserves some sort of recognition! Unlike plain cooked eggs, the addition of milk to these creates a wonderful, less-rubbery texture. That coupled with all the molten cheese . . .…
During my recent trip to Bali (for surfing!), I took a cooking class dedicated to Balinese Cuisine. Anika Cooking Class, in Kuta, taught me a variety of meals - in fact, I (and three other students) made around 10 different dishes! The “Bean and Coconut Salad” (“Urab Buncis”) was definitely…
I basically threw everything in my fridge and pantry into this salad! Lemon, herbs, soy sauce, pepper, pesto, chilli - this had so many different flavours, and man, I loved it! However, if you don’t have even half the ingredients, do not panic. Just use what you have - throw in…
Saturday is my favourite day of the week. Sure, I have study to do, a run to go for, things to prepare . . . But you know what? I can make myself a special breakfast and not worry so much about school-day rushing. Not that this breakfast takes an…

This meal is inspired by my absolute idol, the domestic goddess! So thank you, Nigella Lawson (and your recipe in “Feast”), for a delicious dinner idea. The cornbread topping is soft and tender while adding crunch, the meat is fragrantly spiced, and the place where they meet is an oozingly…
This is scarcely a recipe, and you can fill them with whatever you’d like - tahini, peanut butter, almond butter, pesto, cottage cheese . . . Cucumber is rich in B-vitamins, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, fibre, and silica, helps reduce the risk of cancer, and also controls blood pressure/ cholesterol.…
Because I generally avoid white, floury, excessively-processed foods, pizza usually isn’t on the menu in Casa Fizzi. Instead, I’ll force-feed my sister and father endless piles of salad, beans, fish, curries, and sprouts. Yes, sprouts (sorry guys!). Of course, those two wouldn’t live by my dinners of protein/ fat/ vegetable dishes…
In just the palm of my hand, I can hold the secret to warding off hunger, packing in some protein and fat, and energising yourself with a variety of vitamins, minerals, and other health benefits! Sometimes, thinking of a delicious and nutrient-loaded snack can be difficult. What else are there,…
