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.…
I was going to name this dish “Deconstructed Garlic & Chilli Butter Prawn Stir-fry”, but something seemed off. How can you deconstruct a stir-fry? By separating the prawns from the vegetables, and serving both over a bed of cabbage rather than tossing everything in together, it seemed quasi-deconstructed to me.…
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,…
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…
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…
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,…
If you’re looking for a low-carb meal that will leave you stunned rather than satisfied, this dish is for you. I’m talking tender chicken and a melting mix of herby cheese, all tied together – quite literally – with the ambrosia of our world. Bacon. (On a side note, I do…
I know, I posted a salad recipe just the other day. How can I help it? When spring arrives, the supermarket shelves come to life again, filled with freshness. Besides, this isn’t an ordinary salad. It has seven shades of green. Spinach, olives, cucumber. Spring onion, pumpkin seeds, Italian herbs. Olive…
It’s not often you find a salad that can satisfy you for dinner, especially if it lacks the carbohydrates brought by couscous, croutons, or noodles. This one, though, is full of satiating fats and protein, to kill those carby temptations. Alongside, I served Low-carb Brown Bread (see my recipe in “Breakfast”)…
I want to grab the person who first created flaxmeal bread and kiss them on both cheeks. This stuff is nutty, it’s moist, it’s soft and springy – all without the crumbly weirdness that so often accompanies low-carb baked goods! The flaxseeds are super-packed with fibre and omega-3 fatty acids,…
