Thai Green Fish Curry

February 13, 2012

It is well known that one of the keys to a successful relationship is that of compromise, or “give and take”. When cooking, I find that hard to do. For instance, it is rare, if not impossible to find a Thai dish that does not at some point incorporate fish sauce. Alex hates fish sauce.…

Cheesy Cornmeal Crackers

August 1, 2011

Disclaimer: This recipe was originally a quiche crust (with a bit of extra parmesan thrown in). But I had some left over, and it seemed too good to waste. So after rolling it out flat, I cut the remainder into love hearts, and baked it while the quiche was also cooking. We vote ‘yum’! …

Extra Black Teriyaki Meatballs

March 1, 2009

Today I experimented by combining two recipes, one Teriyaki Meatballs, with my favourite, Yummy Meatballs. The original Teriyaki recipe had pure mincemeat, with no additions apart from spice, so I added an egg and breadcrumbs, as from experience these two additions make for softer, yummier meatballs. I used a dark soy sauce, but would not…
