More chicken stew recipe options: Faster Chicken Quick Stew (using bite size chicken pieces), Coq au Vin and Chicken Fricasée (creamy French Chicken Stew, reader favourite!). Chicken Stew – with crispy skin! Anyone else here not a fan of slimy chicken skin?? I don’t care how long it’s been slow cooked. And whether it’s a stew, in soup or Hainanese chicken. No chicken skin comes near my mouth unless it’s crispy or caramelised....
You’ll love the 4 ingredient Asian sauce, the juicy pieces of caramelised chicken, and how you can toss in virtually any vegetables you want into these stir fried noodles! Another Ramen Noodle Recipe! The popularity of the Asian Beef Ramen Noodles from last month caught me by surprise! Though of course, being of Japanese background, it makes me very happy that a ramen noodle recipe was so popular…… 😇 Given how much you liked the ground beef / mince one, it was inevitable that a chicken version would come out soon…....
Winner, winner … Chicken with Mushroom Gravy! I looked at the homepage of my website the other day and all I could see was golden, brown, yellowy foods. Working backwards from the most recent: Cheesy topped Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni (mostly yellow), Spring Rolls (golden brown), Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes (golden brown), Baked Vegetables and Rice (some colour, mostly brown seasoned rice), 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies (100% brown). I vowed to share something colourful this week....

Perfect portable food, this is certainly not your average sandwich. Crispy and buttery on the outside, mine is stuffed with Christmas leftover ham, turkey, spinach, antipasto type things and cheese. But anything goes! Anything goes in this bread bowl sandwich! Christmas Leftovers are precious around these parts. It only rolls around once a year, and everyone in our family really makes an effort with their allocated dishes. So quite often, you’ll find various family members sidling up to the leftover ham or whatever dish took their fancy in particular that year to pack themselves a generous quantity of it before all the remaining leftovers are shared out equally and fairly to everyone....

She is the founding chef of Sydney’s famous Icebergs Dining Room and Bar located at Bondi Beach, the author of 3 hugely popular cookbooks, owner of Mr Wolf pizzeria in Melbourne as well as a TV presenter. What I love about Karen Martini is that she keeps the base flavours of traditional foods authentic but adds something simple to make it extra special....
Clear Soup Clear soup is made differently in various cuisines. I have shared the method I follow at home. It is a 2 step process where firstly all the veggies are simmered to make a vegetable stock. Next some more veggies are sautéed with ginger & garlic. Then simmered in the prepared stock. This 2 step process makes the clear soup extremely flavorful & delicious similar to the one you get in Asian Restaurants....

I have used organic all purpose flour but it can be baked with half wheat flour and half all purpose flour. If you like the intense nutty flavor of whole wheat in cakes then you can make it using only whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour usually makes the eggless cakes dense so I have not used it here. If you do not have a oven, then you can bake this following this post on Cooker cake recipe....

A wonderful fish recipe for Easter – or anytime! Just imagine that moment when you dunk in a hunk of warm crusty bread….. Fish Chowder Soup This is really just a Fish Soup but I like to call it a “chowder” because the immature child within believes it sounds a heck of a lot more interesting to say “we’re having Fish Chowder for dinner tonight” rather than just “fish soup”....
Glass noodle salad This is one of those summer-time showstopper salads that makes you me believe you I could become a clean-eating goddess because even though you’re I’m usually the kind of person who goes ga-ga over fall-apart meat, one bite of this and woah…… How can healthy be so darn delicious??? The star of today’s salad is glass noodles, those delicate thin, transparent noodles that look just like rice vermicelli noodles except they are see-through....
Monday Meatball Mania is here! The rules are simple and the logic powerful: my friend Jo from Jo Cooks and I both agree that meatballs are the King of all Ball Shaped Foods. There cannot be too many meatballs in this world. So at the beginning of this year, we embarked upon a mission to make this world a better place by contributing even more meatballs. So on the last Monday of every month, we each publish a meatball recipe....
“When you Google “ham cheese french toast roll up”, there are zero search results. When I hit “publish”, there will be 1 result!” I didn’t expect to post this recipe. I’ve seen countless french toast roll ups on the internet so I thought there was little point in adding mine into the mix. But the other day, I realised that all those french toast roll ups I’d seen were sweet ones, usually filled with cream cheese and berries, then coated in sugar....
Bonus: This classic homemade Italian Dressing recipe keeps for 2 weeks so make a big batch! Fabulous with leafy greens, steamed, chopped and roasted vegetables. I am addicted to Italian Dressing. I never thought Italian Dressing was anything special in my younger days. That was before I discovered an Italian Dressing recipe with parmesan in it (can’t remember where, think it was one of those recipe websites). Tried it once and I was converted....
In restaurants, Professional chefs julienne the veggies so beautifully exhibiting their skills. But for the taste, we love the homemade one more. The colorful veggies look & taste so good with a refreshing lemon flavor. In this post I share with you how to make this with ease at home. We make kachumber quite often and I always fine chop the vegetables to bite sized for convenience. You can also julienne them....

It’s a terrific celebratory way to kick off a meal – fizzy, sparkling, sweet, and who can resist the colour! From a practical perspective, it’s a great way to dress up economical champagne....
Lightly Sweet ‘n Salty Butter Popcorn Anyone who has attempted butter popcorn probably did what we all tried at some point: Douse fresh popcorn with regular melted better. Seems obvious enough, right? Only … you found after 10 minutes your popcorn turned soggy and sad (and totally ruined your movie night). The reason it goes soggy is because butter contains 15% water. Yes, water is what is making your popcorn soggy!...
Madeleines It’s another classic French baking recipe courtesy of Chef Jean-Baptiste! Boy was he determined to get this one just perfect. The reputation of his motherland is on the line here, after all!! There were many, many Madeleines made in the quest to perfect this recipe and find answers to all the what-ifs in the making. We aren’t fussy around these parts… not at all! 😂 So what makes a perfect Madeleine, according to a French chef?...
Making mango juice at home is no rocket science. Yet I thought of making this post just to share my tips. For years I had made this juice in a blender by adding chopped mangoes, chilled water, ice cubes and sugar. 6 years ago when we started juicing vegetable and fruits regularly at home I began to experiment a lot even with mangoes. Like other fruits mangoes cannot be juiced in a juicer since they are a high fiber fruit....
