Cucumber Salad Cucumber is probably one of my most consumed vegetables. They make an appearance in many of my salads – from Greek Salad and Ottolenghi’s Middle Eastern Chickpea Salad to epic Asian salads like Thai Beef Salad, exploding with spicy tangy lime flavours. I serve them the classic South East Asian way – cut into wedges and served plain on the side of foods like Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) and Thai Fried Rice....
Not all stir fry recipes have to be a rainbow of colours. Beef Chow Fun usually consists of beef, noodles, beansprouts and onions. Now that really is a plate of brown food! I stick to a traditional approach, relying on a flavour-packed marinade (which doubles up as a stir-fry sauce) to ensure the beef is tender and noodles are so tasty, you might just stick to this one stir fry for the rest of your life!...

Coconut Milk Options: For the creamiest and thickest results, opt to use full-fat coconut milk. That said, you can also use low-fat if that’s your preference. If you find that your dish isn’t as creamy as you’d like, you can add ½ tablespoon of corn starch to thicken the sauce. You can also sub in coconut cream for coconut milk. They are almost always interchangeable. Not surprisingly, coconut cream will make your easy coconut curry even more thick, creamy, and rich....
Chicken Options: When a recipe calls for pre-cooked chicken (like this green enchilada recipe!), there are several great options.

Ready in less than 20 minutes, this ultra-quick recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner. I can’t help but make chicken often. It’s accessible and affordable, and my kids really like it. The grownups, however, do need some variety. This tasty recipe is a good way to make somewhat boring meat into a rather palatable dish. I make these grilled chicken tenders regularly because they are delicious and very easy to make....
It’s one of those recipes where leftovers get better as they rest in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld. This soup is so wonderfully filling and satiating! In the past, I used to think about soup as unsatisfying. A flimsy first course. If I had soup as my main course, I just “had” to have bread with it, or I wasn’t satisfied. Now I know that when a bowl of soup is rich, hearty and flavorful, there’s really no need for bread....
This sauce is also called fresh tomato salsa as it uses raw ingredients and it is a favourite topping or side to some Mexican dishes. It is fresh, mildly flavoured even with the addition of chopped onions, healthy and delicious. I love to serve mine with tortilla chips, egg sauce and tacos. What Is Pico De Gallo Pico de gallo is a Spanish word translated to “beak of rooster” or “rooster’s beak”....
Can I use gluten-free flour? Yes, you can substitute many gluten-free flours and flour blends in this recipe. The flour acts as a binding agent so other flours will work just as well. How long are zucchini pancakes good for? How do I reheat them? Zucchini pancakes are best fresh but will stay good in the fridge for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. It is not recommended to freeze these pancakes....
What goes in Strawberry Daiquiris: strawberries, white rum (Bacardi, Havana Club), lime and sugar syrup. Freeze the strawberries so you don’t need ice! Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri Strawberry Daiquiris are everything that comes to mind when I think of cocktails: dangerously drinkable even though it’s got a good slug of rum; looks bright, cheerful and as fabulous as it tastes; looks impressive, especially when you nail that perfect slushy consistency so you get a small mound but drinkable – rather than so icy it’s like eating sorbet with a spoon!...

I never understood Meatless Monday. If you do grocery shopping on the weekend, doesn’t it make sense to cook with fresh meat early in the week (i.e. MONDAY)? I guess normal people go Meatless on Monday to try to kick off the week on a healthy note. Not me. I’m usually the reverse. Fresh protein for the first half of the week, then vegetarian / pantry meals for the second half of the week!...
Giant Pancake to share! When I have friends around for brunch, I rarely make pancakes because I want to lounge around chatting, not slaving over a hot stove making pancake after pancake after pancake. Simple maths: 3 pancakes each for 4 people = 12 pancakes @ 3 minutes each = 36 minutes. Sure, you can make them ahead and reheat them. But you and I both know it’s just not the same....
On their own, eaten from the pack in front of the TV, Rolos are admittedly pretty awesome. Baked inside chocolate cookies though? There is no better way to eat them! These Gooey Rolo Stuffed Cookies are soft chewy cookies that taste delicious from the first bite, just get better as you nibble your way right through to the gooey center. I posted these cookies first for DIYs.com back in January and I tell you now, I really could have done with a few more of them this afternoon!...
PLUS my tried and tested for the BEST way to make green bean casserole ahead of time! Green Bean Casserole I have some opinions about Thanksgiving food. Firstly, I’m of the view that marshmallow has no place in anything that appears before dessert. (yes, I’m glaring at you Mr Sweet Potato Casserole topped with marshmallows!!). Secondly, I believe that everyone should get to eat what they want they want on Thanksgiving, traditional or otherwise....
“There’s sticky chicken…then there is seriously sticky chicken. This is insanely sticky chicken!” I kid you not when I say that I am transported back to Hawaii every time I make these. It puts me in a good mood just making them! I mean, how much more tropical can you get than chicken with a pineapple marinade and coconut rice on the side? I want to drape myself in leis, put on the Beach Boys’ Kokomo, shake up some Pina Coladas and parteeee!...
So good! But some days there just isn’t time to wait 2 hours for a joint of lamb to cook. And that’s where this recipe comes into play. 10 minutes prep, 25 minutes in the oven and done. It’s full of flavour, and looks just so darn pretty! I created it for NEFF back in March, and I’ve been dreaming of recreating it ever since! In case you guys didn’t know, I do lots of work with NEFF....

Served with Caribbean Rice with Peas (actually, it’s beans – but the dish is called “peas”!) One of the best nights I remember from my holiday to the Bahamas was at a beach bar where we drank cheap beer, danced barefoot on the sand and lined up in long queues for dinner served on paper plates. It was an extensive banquet consisting of peas ‘n rice, corn on the cob, a green salad and jerk chicken…....
