Recipes with meat
Panko crumbed chicken is so deliciously crispy. A few weeks ago, we received a free Hello Fresh box which included 4 recipe cards. Two of the four recipes provided were fabulous (the other two were so-so) and we have now made our own version to add to the rotation. One of them is this panko … Continue reading Sweet mustard panko crumbed chicken
I discovered these delightful Chinese sausage rolls at an Asian bakery when I was in university. They always had the fluffiest breads. They were so pillowy because of a technique called tangzhong which uses a 1:5 ratio of flour to liquid (water or milk) and cooks it into a slurry.

This Sichuan chilli fish is one of my favourite spicy foods. I first discovered Sichuan food about 10 years ago and one of the distinguishing features of this cuisine is the Sichuan peppercorn. It leaves a bit of num feeling in your mouth, especially when you accidentally bite into a whole peppercorn. I thought I … Continue reading Sichuan chilli fish
Nando's peri peri chicken holds a very special place in our family's heart. I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't like Nando's.

Beef gyudon is so easy to make and is traditionally served with a raw egg. I get queasy with raw egg white so when I have it, I actually separate the egg yolk from the egg white and only eat the egg yolk. This was prepared for my brother and he asked for his egg … Continue reading Basic beef gyudon
When James and I went to London in 2018, we were amazed at how beautiful and 'old' the city was. It was summer time, the Wimbledons were being played and England had made it to the quarter finals of the World Cup. The atmosphere was so festive and electric. There were plenty of rooftop bars … Continue reading Summer Sizzler Spice Seasoning
My mom used to cook this a lot when I was young and I think it's partly because it's so simple and easy to make. There weren't too many ingredients and it tasted so good all the time.
