Thai Green Curry Fishcakes

February 12, 2019

Whether you are eating at a fancy Thai restaurant or just ordering your Friday night takeaway from the local Thai canteen, chances are you have ordered Thai fishcakes at some point in your ordering history. Maybe more than once, if you are an avid fishcake connoisseur. I have had my share of Thai fishcakes over the years. There have been some standouts but for the most bit, they are two things, if not anything else - spicy and greasy. But wait ti... Read More >>

Vegan Gingerbread Tahini Cookies

December 22, 2018

I have been wanting to share this vegan gingerbread cookie recipe with you for the longest time, but I didn't have pictures! Ever since I shared this vegan tahini cookie recipe on the blog (which has quickly become my most viewed and most baked recipe on the blog!), I wanted to experiment with something similar for Christmas. This Vegan Gingerbread Tahini Cookie is pretty much based off the original cookie recipe with a touch of extra coco... Read More >>

Vegan Miso Glazed Eggplant (Nasu Dengaku)

September 4, 2018

Many years ago when we first moved to Australia from Singapore, I was on a Japanese food bender. I trawled every weekend market for the perfect Okonomiyaki and sat at many sushi trains sampling as many Agedashi Tofus, Sashimis, Inari and Nigiris as I could. But I never tried Nasu Dengaku, until one fine day when Hayden Quinn came over to my (then tiny) kitchen for a cooking and filming session. I cannot remember what I cooked, but t... Read More >>

Smoked Salmon Kedgeree

August 23, 2018

A kedgeree is the love child of an Indian Khichari and the colonial British obsession for all things curry. I grew up eating Khichari (a savoury porridge of rice and lentils often spiked with spices and enjoyed with a vegetable curry on the side) but it was only after I moved overseas that I discovered kedgeree. Loose references in old Indian and British cookbooks seem to suggest that kedgeree was take on Khichari. But with the addition of flaked... Read More >>

Rainbow Veggie Coconut Dal

August 8, 2018

It is a bloody miracle that I haven't shared a dal recipe on the blog for a while now, considering I am cooking dals every week (much to my boys annoyance!). The last time I shared some delicious wholesome dal recipes, I received so many messages asking for more. Who knew, cheap dal dinners was a regular old thing - and not just in my home! So today, I am sharing another of my this-is-the-dal-i-want-to-eat-everyday obsessions. A Rainbow Veggie Co... Read More >>

Noodle Free Pad Thai

May 16, 2018

A traditional pad thai is one of my favourite things to eat. But it does take a bit of work. And needs to be enjoyed straight away as it has a tendency to get gluggy and sticky because of the rice noodles. Now imagine if there was a pad thai recipe that had all those nutty, sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours but was extremely fresh and crisp and required absolutely no cooking. A noodle free pad thai! A healthy meal prep dream! Are you exci... Read More >>
