After a week of eating mostly vegetarian food, I ate quite a lot of meat over the weekend – mainly thanks to a Saturday night meal with friends at a restaurant dedicated to meat. Having said that, I didn’t really miss meat at all – it’s another conversation entirely if we discuss not having chocolate….

In keeping with my plan to reduce my meat in take, I decided to try making a tofu Pad Thai. Let me state, first off, that I have never been a fan of tofu. The only time I ever liked it was when I had it in a Sichuan chili dish that was so spicy,…

When I told my mum I was going to poach salmon in my slow cooker, she didn’t seem too keen on the idea. Mainly because Mum and I have the same idea that salmon should be cooked to a medium temperature, and not all the way through. However, I loved the flavours that were part…

As soon as I ordered my slow cooker (thanks to expiring Asia Miles), I started looking at recipes that I could make. Immediately, pulled pork came to mind. I’ve made pulled pork once before, a long time ago – using a normal oven at a low temperature for 10 hours. It was painful.   I…

By now many of you will be aware of how much of a Jamie Oliver fan I am. I love how unpretentious his recipes are. Every recipe can be made at home, although sometimes you may need rather special ingredients (at least out in Hong Kong they’re special) and certain equipment (if you want fresh…

After three days in Thailand, I came back home and really craved Thai food. Luckily, I came back with a whole load of curry and Pad Thai pastes! I also really want to cut down my intake of meat, so I decided to go for a vegetable curry. The good thing is that there was…

Today’s delicious recipe – which I made for breakfast on my last day off before going back to work – comes from Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients. It caught my eye the first time I opened the book, and I’ve been dying to try it. Now, I have to say that it isn’t the healthiest option…

I’m sorry that I’ve been absent for so long – the Christmas break had me busy running errands, baking today’s recipe, AND then I went to Phuket for a few days. It’s now 2018, and I cannot believe that a new year has started. Time seems to fly by these days, even though so much…
