Do I have to use avocado in this recipe? Can I replace it with something else? Yes. Avocado adds color, a soft texture and a mild, buttery flavor. If you don’t care for it, it can be omitted. If you want something to replace it with, try crushed black olives. Is this recipe spicy? Not especially. The red pepper flakes can add a tiny touch of warmth, but if you want it completely mild, you can omit the red pepper flakes....

Spaghetti alla Puttanesca There are various colourful stories explaining how this dish came to be, and how Puttanesca pasta got its name. “Puttanesca” roughly translates to “working girls” in Italian (that’s a politically correct term I’m using there!) One tale tells how this dish was invented in the brothels of Naples so the smells wafting from the kitchen would entice potential … errr, clients. Another story claims this pasta was a quick and simple dish ladies of the Neapolitan night could throw together in a hurry in amongst their busy schedules....
This spicy Asian noodles recipe was inspired by my dad, who spent part of his childhood in Singapore. His time over there gave him a real taste for the spicy, saucy noodle/rice dishes Singapore is famous for, and he came back with a repertoire of lip smackingly good dishes that he passed on to me. I used to love hearing my dad’s tall tales of life in Singapore some 60+ years ago....
I’ve been meaning to give you guys this recipe for years! In fact, I can’t believe it isn’t already on my site!

This is my home style version of the restaurant favorite....
Why add horseradish to deviled eggs? Is it spicy? Horseradish is our secret weapon when making deviled eggs. It adds a lot of flavor, without adding heat. You want to use a prepared horseradish cream sauce rather than raw horseradish. Prepared horseradish is processed with vinegar and salt. Creamy horseradish sauce is sold in the condiment section of your supermarket. What is the best way to boil eggs to make deviled eggs?...
Health Benefits: Cauliflower is packed full of fiber and B vitamins. Fiber can help support lower cholesterol levels, control blood sugar, and has a good amount of phytonutrients and antioxidants that many believe can help fight off disease. What does cauliflower taste like? The taste of cauliflower is not strong and is very mild-tasting with a little bit of a nutty flavor. This means it takes on the taste of its seasonings well....
This marinade is an orange-honey-ginger based sauce. Each ingredient is important and offers something different to create the best tasting salmon. Soy provides seasoning on our fish rather than salt. Salmon always needs an acid, and orange is the perfect complimenting flavor. The honey works to balance out the acidity. Garlic and ginger add a complexity of flavor, with a touch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat....

No trip to Tokyo is complete without a visit to Akihabara “Electric Town”, known for its thousands of electronics stores selling every kind of gadget, device, appliance or machine part you could possibly imagine!

Simple to make, economical and oh-so-delish! Tuna Mornay I moved out of home straight after finishing high school at the tender age of 18, so it will come as no surprise to you that I had my fair share of meals comprising canned tuna in various, completely unappetising forms. Dumped into rice, on pasta, on toast (with melted cheese!) and the worst offender of them all – eaten straight out of a can....
Why have I waited so long to make these Salt and Pepper Ribs with Chilli Honey Drizzle? I got the most amazingly meaty rack of ribs from the butcher when I made my last batch of Chinese sticky ribs, and since I was making them just for me and Chris, I froze half to use later. They’ve been in the freezer, taunting me ever since, until I finally got them out to serve with some fried rice....

People have loved my recipe for The Most Amazing White Cake and I’ve been overwhelmed with requests for a cupcake version. Here it is! This recipe makes 24 beautiful white cupcakes. ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS: Several of the ingredients in the recipe are listed as being room temperature. By following this method you’ll have a better texture in the end so it is worth the patience. For the buttermilk, I simply warmed it in the microwave for 30 seconds because the idea of leaving it out on the counter to reach room temperature didn’t sit well with me....
