Udon Dipping Noodles
Here Dr Megs has a pretty good crack at reproducing a delicious Japanese dish she tasted whilst in Tokyo recently… the dipping udon noodle!
Harinezumi (“hedgehog” meatballs with eggplant and miso sauce)
So here is my recipe for my "hedgehog" meatballs. Not hedgehog meat of course (I know you were thinking it!) but pork mince with grated carrot "spikes." This was a recipe I made up when I arrived home from my first trip to Japan about a week ago. It was a major hit...
Dairy-free Butter Chicken
Hello everyone and Gong Xi Fa Cai (Happy Chinese New Year) to you all! I made this very un-Chinese dish before the New Year and have had overwhelming requests to share the recipe I used. My kids absolutely SMASHED it, and I must admit that the adults in the...
Dairy-free Moussaka
An excess of eggplants means MOUSSAKA! This special recipe is dairy-free, but is yummy whether you are dairy allergic or not!
Steamed red pork buns (Char-siu Bao)
Recipe trial and adaptation of an old favourite – Char siu BAO!
Pork and ginger potsticker dumplings
These pork potsticker dumplings are to DIE for. Now I love dumplings, but these rocked my world – and they were so EASY!! Have a go, I guarantee you’ll thank me!
Beef Wellingtons
An oldie but a goodie! Tender eye fillet steak, nestled in a cloud of buttery mushrooms and wrapped in crisp layers of puff pastry and proscuitto. Yuuummmm….
Pomegranate, streaky bacon, danish feta and quinoa salad
This amazing salad is anything but low calorie, but it sure is delicious… and makes you feel better for eating it because it is called a “salad” 😉
Eggplant, goat’s cheese and streaky bacon ravioli
Anyone craving eggplant? This cheat’s ravioli is so delicious, you will find yourself sneaking the leftovers for supper.
Faux miso-glazed eggplant
Crazy made-up recipe created when Dr Megs ran out of miso paste, and wanted miso-glazed eggplant. Just as delicious as the real thing (well… in her opinion anyway)
Pipi (clam) spaghetti and zoodles
Fresh, fast, delicious. This is a MUST try recipe. You will NOT regret it.
Cracking roast pork belly with sticky candy sweet chilli sauce
So I've been so lazy lately, resting on my laurels... Once I completed my last uni assessment for the semester, my brain kind of imploded into a smushy, gooey mess - rendering me unable to write anything worth reading. So I gave myself a bit of a break. Mother's Day...
