Breakfast Pizza

Besides being a versatile wrap for sandwiches, Pita bread is also a great homemade-pizza crust. It makes a great light and thin crispy crust. Traditionally, consumed in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region, now it’s easily accessible at any grocery store’s bread section! Here, I have used it as the crust for this quick Breakfast Pizza. Try it, nothing out of the ordinary; just use the usual favorite breakfast ingredients, such as bacon, eggs, roasted peppers, onions, sausages, etc. Well, before I pop the champagne to welcome the New Year, I would like to wish all of you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! I hope year 2011 would bring more joy, happiness, health, and opportunities for all! Cheers!

Roasted White Wine Chicken with Prosciutto, Potatoes, and Onions

I made this Roasted White Wine Chicken with Prosciutto, Potatoes, and Onions over the recent holidays. I deliberately roasted the chicken and potatoes in the same baking tray.

Roast Beef Tenderloin

At a Christmas party recently, I really enjoyed the way my friend prepared her roast beef tenderloin, which was served with an array of sauce and bread.

Get your guests to feel more casual, relaxed, and more at ease.

Saucepan Fudge Drops

These addictive Saucepan Fudge Drops cookies are chewy with crunchy edges and fudge-like in the centre. The cookies are super easy to make and tastes really good, however, they don't keep very well. They will soften and lose their crunchy exterior very quickly.

Creamy Butter Prawns

Creamy Butter Prawns is another great comfort food to tuck into during the current cold season here. The sauce is creamy, buttery, and a little spicy. It's made with whipping cream, butter, lots of curry leaves, Thai bird’s eye chilies, garlic, black pepper, and sea salt.

Golden Kamut Shortbread

I am glad I decided to have a go at baking Alice Medrich’s Golden Kamut Shortbread recipe recently. Not knowing what is Kamut flour, it immediately set me off to do some research which ended up at the local health food store. I learnt quickly that Kamut flour is made from an ancient grain which is more nutritious than regular wheat flour. It contains more protein, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and also a unique type of gluten that’s easier to digest for those who are sensitive to wheat. So, this is the end result, twice-baked Kamut Shortbread that has a light crunch, buttery texture, and a wonderful nutty flavor from the Kamut flour. Golden Kamut Shortbread Ingredients 12 Tbsp/6 oz/170g Unsalted Butter, melted and warm 5 Tbsp Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla Extract ¼ tsp Sea Salt ¾ Cup/110g All-Purpose Flour ¾ Cup/130 g Kamut Flour Turbinado Sugar for sprinkling Maldon Sea Salt/Flaky and Freshly Ground Black Pepper for sprinkling Grease a 9” square or 9 ½” round tart pan with a re...

Grilled Fish In Banana Leaves

This is one of my favorite fish dish, a simply delicious Grilled Fish In Banana Leaves recipe. It’s recommended that you use fresh Tilapia fillets and spice it up with the aromatic flavors of shallots, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chili powder, curry leaves, diced tomatoes, and lime juice. Wrap all the ingredients using some banana leaves and grill in a lightly oiled frying pan. The fish tastes really good, spicy, moist, and with a lovely aroma from the banana leaf. Yummy!

How To Poach Eggs

I will share my method of making Poached Eggs in this post. I know there are so many ways to make simple beautiful poach eggs. I’ll admit I have tried many of the common methods before and have ended up with a lot of wasted eggs. So, I find this method easiest and it works for me every time without fail! It may not be the best looking poached eggs around; but, it works and is certainly good enough for me. Check out the video and please let me know what you think.

I like my egg yolk runny, so, 3 minutes would be perfect. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove one egg at a time and shake off any excess w...

Lemongrass And Ginger Drink

It’s widely known that Lemongrass and Ginger Drink is an effective remedy for coughs, flu, nausea, indigestion, stomach cramping, etc. I am not sure if it really heals all that’s been claimed, however, I do know that having a couple of cups of the drink did soothe my stomach when I wasn’t feeling well recently. Whatever the case, I love the taste of this drink which is typically served hot; but, it can also be served as a refreshing iced drink on a hot sweltering day. Try making some and serve it hot during the current cold season, it will help to keep to your body warm! :) Lemongrass And Ginger Drink Ingredients 4 Stalks Fresh Lemongrass, trimmed and bruised (smashed) 1 inch Fresh Ginger, peeled and bruised (smashed) 1000 ml Water 3 Pandan (Screwpine) Leaves, washed and knotted 80 g Yellow Rock Sugar Method Combine the lemongrass, ginger, Pandan leaves, and water in a medium pot.

How to cut a Spiral Potato

A recent episode of the popular Unwrapped program on the Food Network caught my attention when they featured the Spiral or aka Tornado fries . It immediately inspired me to make these deep-fry taters as they certainly looked interesting and fun to eat. The potatoes were cut with a custom spiral cutter before being fried. As I did not have one of those spiral cutting contraption at home, I resorted to the manual way of cutting the potatoes i.e. using a thin sharp knife instead. The result was pretty good. I was satisfied with the outcome although the potato spiral wasn’t as thin and evenly cut as compared to the one’s shown on TV.

Spiced Roasted Cauliflower And Potatoes

As I had mentioned in my last post, you can use the same spice marinate to bake this delicious Spiced Roasted Cauliflower and Potatoes.

Spiced Roasted Chicken Wings

These Spiced Roasted Chicken Wings were baked in an oven and they are really tasty! The chicken wings need to be marinated a day ahead so that the flavors of the spices will be fully absorbed. A great dish for parties because you can prepare the wings a day ahead and just bake them in your oven before your guests arrive. This recipe can also be applied for vegetables, for instance, with cauliflower and potatoes. I will post the vegan version shortly.

Aromatic Grilled Lamb Chops

I think all of us have our own distinct ways of marinating the type of meat we intend to cook. My favorite marinate concoction, especially for lamb chops, would be a mixture of rosemary, garlic, lemon zest and juice, chopped mint leaves, parsley, olive oil, and sea salt. Marinate the lamb chops for at least 6 hours or overnight, if possible. Remember to bring the marinated lamb chops to room temperature before grilling. If you love lamb, do try making these mouth-watering Aromatic Grilled Lamb Chops. Enjoy!
