Egg & Bacon Pie

January 16, 2013

Are you one of those people who (like me) are happy to have breakfast any time of day? I’m always thrilled when eating out if I can choose bacon and eggs for lunch or dinner. I don’t know why, possibly because I never cook them for myself, or the fact they make for a…

Just for fun

November 22, 2012

This one’s just for fun. I roasted some extra pumpkin and potato that I’d peeled and cubed but didn’t need for a vegetable curry last night. Then decided we’d eat them with pork sausages today… Added a sprinkling of rosemary salt and a bunch of washed and trimmed asparagus, AND hey Presto! 25 minutes later,…

Quick Zucchini Quiche

June 24, 2012

Love, love, love recipes that come together in no time at all! You’d think I had no time to cook, the way I rave about quick recipes! But the two criteria for a great recipe seem to be, on a recurring basis, quick (easy) and tasty! And this one’s a winner on both counts.…

Egg Noodles with Chicken

June 22, 2012

I’d had the day off and not accomplished very much at all. Frustrating! But I had decided what was for dinner (I’d decided that yesterday and got the chicken out to defrost). A new quick noodle recipe from a relatively new addition to my cookbook gallery; namely ‘Speedy cooking in 20 minutes or less’ as the…

Pad Sieu

February 29, 2012

If I was asked to choose my favourite Thai dish, I’m not sure I would be able to make a choice. All of it is wonderful, full of flavour – hot, sweet, sour and salty. For two years, while living in Thailand, I enjoyed curries and noodle dishes for lunch and more often than not,…

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.…

Perfect Rice

June 6, 2011

I love perfect rice. There is nothing that brings me quite as much satisfaction as being able to create a pot of what I call, “perfect” rice. It’s just rice cooked by the absorption method; but when it works it’s perfect. And for something that cooks without intervention and is ready to go after 20…
