Smoked Salmon Potato Rosti Stacks I’ve often written about my love of potatoes. Thinking back over my 30-something years, I am sure I have never come across a potato dish that I haven’t loved. From french fries to potato bakes, latkes to potato cakes, hasselbacks, potato skins, mashed, salad, soups – you name it, I love it. “Surprisingly, these are only 370 calories a serving!” And whether you know these as potato rostis or hash browns, these are my absolute favourite....

Korean Pork Stir Fry If you like BIG flavours – and I mean BIG, HUGE flavours, then this stir fry is for you. The flavours are much more intense than usual stir fries – it’s spicier, stickier and stronger. The jammy sauce is the type that will have you smacking your lips and licking your fingers, wanting to marinade everything in this. And actually, you could. For those who have sampled Korean Fried Chicken (the “other” KFC), the flavour of the sauce will be familiar because the sticky coating for KFC has similar ingredients to this marinade....

Mini Chicken Tostadas There are so many Mexican things we can’t get here in Australia. Mexican cheeses – like Cotija. Chipotle was really only introduced here a few years ago, and even today you have to go to speciality stores to get it. (Though I do note that Harris Farms has Chipotle in Adobo which is my current flavour obsession!). We don’t even have canned green chilies here! At least, not the type to use in Mexican dishes....

Ginza is known as Tokyo’s high-end shopping mecca and the ritzy end of town, where some of the city’s best of retail, dining and entertainment can be found. Global designer brand stores, prestigious Japanese department stores, boutique outlets, as well as top-end restaurants – it’s all here for those with cash to splash! For the average visitor however there’s still plenty to see, buy and eat, and basking in the moneyed atmosphere of this glamorous part of Tokyo is all part of the experience....

Simple to make, loaded with classic Greek flavours: chicken marinated in lemon, garlic and dried oregano then threaded onto skewers. Served with a homemade Tzatziki, all bundled up in pita bread. Or in my case, a simple homemade flatbread that’s made without yeast! Chicken Souvlaki “Just make something quick and easy,” I told myself sternly. “Your To Do List is out of control at the moment. You don’t have time to blog something that will take too long....

Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe A long awaited reader request…. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had people writing in asking for my chocolate chip cookie recipe! In truth, I was sitting on it because I wanted to make sure I tested it properly for different measures in different countries. If you’ve ever tried a cookie recipe written by someone in another country and had it fail miserably, chances are that it’s because of the difference in cup, tablespoon and teaspoon measures between countries....

But if it all sounds too daunting for a sleepy Sunday morning, take the easy way out and prepare the poached eggs and Hollandaise Sauce up to 2 days ahead. They both reheat perfectly! Eggs Benedict The great brunch favourite has finally arrived! Truthfully, I didn’t want to publish this without also sharing Poached Eggs and Hollandaise Sauce at the same time, and it’s a LOT of work to do all three which is why I’m releasing this months later than I promised....

It’s incredibly cost effective!” In this post I want to share with you how you can make 5 freezer friendly meals for 4 people in 1 hour for just $50. All the meals are made using just one batch of Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork). Pork Carnitas are incredibly cost effective because a little bit goes a long way. A 2....

Make this with button mushrooms or large mushrooms! A great quick side dish that pairs with everything from steaks to Roast Chicken, or make a meal out of it as I do! Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms Mushrooms are one of my all time favourite vegetables. I love the savoury flavour, how versatile they are, and how they’re kind of meaty. From Mushroom Rice to Mushrooms on Toast, in pies, pasta, and this amazing creamy Mushroom Sauce, I am pretty sure it is the most used vegetable on my website!...

Welcome to GREEK WEEK! Every now and then, I like to do themed menus where I share all the recipes for a feast, and this week it’s all about the bright fresh flavours of the Mediterranean.

GREEK MENU Greek Chicken – Garlicky lemony oregano flavours infused right through the chicken from a flavour loaded Greek chicken marinade; Greek Salad – the juicy tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, that red wine vinegar dressing and the pops of feta!...

I use this Honey Mustard Dressing for salads but it’s definitely thick enough to use as a dipping sauce too. Though truth be told, my Honey Mustard Dipping sauce is made with mayonnaise and no vinegar. 🙂 But I do use this for dipping too! My friends and I always say that a great salad comes down to the dressing. It doesn’t matter how fancy pants the ingredients in the salad are....

Use for all things Thai – and anything really. It’s just a really great rice! How to cook Jasmine Rice Jasmine rice is a lovely, subtly perfumed rice used across South East Asia. It’s strongly associated with Thai food, and used for serving with everything from Thai marinated chicken to Chilli Basil Stir Fry, Satay Skewers and the many Thai curries out there. It’s also used to make Thai fried rice and Pineapple Fried Rice which is the other recipe I’m sharing today!...

The very first feature I did for Super Food Ideas magazine was called “Double Duty” where I shared recipes where one base mixture was used for two purposes. So for example, I did a Garlic Lime Marinated Prawns (Shrimp) with Green Rice where one lime and garlic mixture was used to marinate the prawns and as the flavour base for a green spinach rice. Using a salad dressing as a marinade for chicken is Double Duty in its simplest form and this Lemon Chicken Salad is a terrific example where the Lemon Dressing works as a fantastic marinade to infuse chicken with flavour – quickly!...

This Roasted Broccoli is the best broccoli recipe ever 4 1/2 years ago when I first shared this broccoli recipe, I stated that this was the best damn broccoli I had ever had in my life. And that still holds true. Sure, I’ve had fancier. Great chefs can work magic on the humble broccoli and turn it into a real fancy dish. But the thing that makes this particular recipe the best broccoli recipe ever is that it’s so quick and easy and yet so good!...

It is rare to meet a bloke who doesn’t love bacon. It is like men are genetically programmed to be obsessed with bacon. And beer, for that matter. And beef. Did I just figure out the holy trinity for men? Beer, Beef and Bacon. This candy doesn’t have beef or beer in it. I did make a version with beer, but it was more effort to make, you couldn’t actually taste the beer in it and it had a much thicker candy coating which I thought made it far too sweet....

Mojito Ahh Mojito. We know you’re a hot weather drink, but we like making you all year round. In summer, we want something refreshing, and you’re the first that springs to mind. And in winter, we say we need to make use of all the mint in the flourishing mint bush. Really, making one of you doesn’t even make a dent in even a tiny mint plant. We just need any half hearted excuse to make you!...
