“An Arabian Feast – 7 dishes, 1 hour of preparation, cost efficient, easy and make ahead. My favourite menu for feeding a crowd!” This menu will be very familiar to my friends because it is my “go to” spread when I’m entertaining 12+ people. I recently single handedly prepared this for 50 people (though this did take more than 1 hour as I had to make 4x the quantity of each dish!...

Also, don’t miss the popular noodle version of this recipe – Asian Beef Ramen Noodles! Super quick beef mince recipe! This one is for all those nights when you peer into your fridge, find a packet of beef mince and are completely uninspired to make Spag Bol – yet again. This is also one for all those nights when you’ve been baking, filming and photographing recipes all day, and you swear you don’t have the energy to make anything for dinner but your mother brain washed you so well, you feel guilty for even thinking about picking up the phone to order home delivery....

It tastes like a brownie, in cookie form – PLUS peanut butter frosting! I don’t bake much because I am more of a savoury person than a sweet person. So most sweet things I make are “fast and easy” type treats. But this….this is worth every second of effort. It is crazy indulgent and ridiculously scrumptious. The brownie cookie is just like a brownie in both texture and taste. The surface of the cookie has the familiar thin crinkly layer....

Carrot Cake This Carrot Cake is from a reader, the lovely Dorothy of Tennessee in the States, a long-time reader of RecipeTin Eats. She promised it was dead easy, foolproof, ultra moist with a heavenly flavour. One bite was all it took for me to ditch the recipe I’d been using all my life up until that moment. This was The One. Hands down the best Carrot Cake I have ever had in my life!...

This Chicken Pot Pie recipe is made by poaching uncooked chicken in stock and milk which is then used as the broth for the creamy filling. Or speed things up by using cooked chicken! Chicken Pot Pie Chicken Pot Pie was a staple in my 20’s. When I was an ambitious lass in the corporate world juggling university in the evenings, Chicken Pot Pie was a handy one-dish freezer-friendly meal that I could cram loads of extra veggies into....

Satay Chicken Curry (Malaysian) “I rarely leave comments on blogs…but I am going OUT OF MY MIND about this recipe. Seriously, it’s the best thing I’ve ever cooked. My partner actually thinks I ordered it from a restaurant and am trying to pretend like I cooked it!” – Kellie, 22 May 2017 As you can see from the date stamp of the above reader feedback, this Satay Chicken Curry is a recipe I published years ago....

Copycat Chinese takeout recipes are a firm favourite in my world, with recipes like Chow Mein, Cashew Chicken, Fried Rice and Egg Foo Young on heavy rotation along with this Beef and Broccoli. For a full Chinese banquet, start with an appetiser of Spring Rolls or Potstickers. And don’t miss Chicken and Broccoli stir fry! Beef and broccoli recipe I’ve attempted on several occasions to wheedle recipes out of my local Chinese restaurant – with little to no success....

My favourite way to make coconut rice is using coconut milk POWDER because the rice comes out fluffier and cleaner- here’s my recipe for Coconut Rice here. That recipe is an Asian restaurant recipe, and the secret ingredient is kaffir lime leaves – it’s what makes that little difference to make it truly restaurant quality. This recipe is for coconut rice made with coconut MILK, not powder. It doesn’t come out quite as fluffy but is still just as tasty....

Clocking in at just 397 calories per serving, and that’s with extra sauce for dipping your veggies in! Everyone needs an arsenal of super quick meals in their back pocket. Fish with some kind of sauce is a great one because fish cooks so quickly. Today I’m sharing a Creamy Dill Sauce which is no cook so it literally takes minutes to make. Just sour cream, mustard, lemon, garlic plus a good amount of fresh dill, and you have yourself a lovely fresh sauce....

Handy to make loads, reheats JUICY and comes with an incredible fuss-free gravy for chicken. This recipe is a lifesaver for holiday entertaining and feeding groups!! Herb Baked Chicken This is a chicken recipe that we made last weekend when catering a Christmas Lunch for my mother’s friends. Just 40 or so people! 😂 We were specifically after a chicken dish that met the following criteria: easy to make loads – can roast a double batch at the same time no advance preparation eg....

Serve with silky cauliflower mash and a drizzle of browned butter for the ultimate gluten free, low-carb meal! Parmesan Crusted Chicken In case you can’t tell from the photo (really??!), this chicken recipe is all about the parmesan crust. It’s crunchy, it’s golden, it’s packed with flavour and perfectly seasoned so other than the teeniest tiniest pinch of salt in the egg mixture, you don’t need to add any salt or other seasonings at all....

The chicken is so juicy, you can eat it plain with no sauce, I swear. But because I love sauces so much, I’m serving this perfect poached chicken breast with a classic Ginger Shallot (Scallion) Sauce. So good, you will want to put it on everything! Every since I discovered this genius way to poach chicken breast well over a decade ago, I have never used any other method. In fact, I barely consider this cooking....

(PS. Once you’ve done salmon, do it for steak!) Garlic Butter Salmon I was a bit hesitant to share this recipe, thinking, “Salmon cooked in garlic butter? So obvious. So simple,” But as I thought about it, I realised that I did actually have some things to say about this “simple” recipe. Like: finely chop the garlic with a knife; don’t use a garlic press/crusher. Garlic crushers make the garlic bits too small such that they burn, and they force out the garlic juice so it spits everywhere when it hits the butter....

Homemade Filet O Fish Burger Skip the Drive Through of Shame. It’s incredibly quick and easy to make Filet-O-Fish at home, and you don’t even need to fry! Plus, you can make bigger ones at home. Ever notice how small the Maccers Filet-O-Fish are? Those teeny fish burgers barely scrape the bottom of my stomach. At least we can make proper meal-size ones at home! A homemade fish burger with a crunchy crumb that tastes just like McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish!...

BONUS: This can be made with any protein – beef, pork, lamb, shrimp/prawns, even tofu! Honey Garlic Chicken Breast This sauce for chicken breast is a variation of my Honey Garlic Salmon which has been popular with readers for many years. If I were ever to do a summary of my top 5 Most Used Sauces, Honey Garlic Sauce would probably be right at the top of the list. I love it because it requires so few ingredients that are pantry staples, and when simmered with a seared protein in a skillet so it becomes all bubbly and syrupy…....

This rarely happens, and it usually only lasts 24 hours, but I can officially say: I’m cooked out. Between cooking for Easter both in real life and for RecipeTin Eats and client work, the amount of food that has come out of my pokey little kitchen over the past couple of weeks is extraordinary. My freezer is jam packed, the homeless guy is getting 2 meals almost every day, and every friend I see gets sent home with food....

See separate directions for brown basmati rice – How to cook Brown Rice. How to cook Basmati Rice The biggest mistake most people make which results in gluey rice is using the wrong rice to water ratio. The correct rice to water ratio is 1 : 1.5 (1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water). Most people use 1 3/4 cups of water or even 2 cups of water, AND they rinse the rice which makes it waterlogged and makes the mushy rice problem even worse....

Monday Meatball Mania is here! On the last Monday of every month, Jo from Jo Cooks and I each share a meatball recipe, because we both believe that ball shaped food rocks (fabulously high ratio of golden brown surface to juicy meat inside) and there should be more of it in this world....
