It’s been a while since I used my slow cooker, and as the weather starts to cool, it’s definitely going to get more use – who doesn’t love chilli in cooler weather?! I’ve never made short ribs before, I’ve had them plenty at barbecues and out at dinner. Hell, a friend even made short…

Green Veggie Burger
I found the original recipe for the Green Warrior Burger on My Food and Happiness’ blog. Her blog is amazing, and I have made several things from her blog before. I’ve been eyeing up this burger recipe for a while, but never got round to making it. I’m always a bit uncertain when it comes…
Cherry Ketchup
I’ve had this recipe up my sleeve for a while now, waiting for a good time to share it with you all. The guys at work have thoroughly enjoyed the cherry ketchup, as have I. Let me explain how I got to the idea of cherry ketchup to start with though. Back in July, on…
Scallops with Spinach and Balsamic Vinegar Glaze
I was wondering around Central the other day, in between errands and meeting a friend for lunch, and I decided to check out a supermarket that I’d never been in to. The supermarket didn’t use to be where it is, but it’s a chain of supermarket I have been to before. The thing is, with…
Chilli & Tomato Jam
I’ve always had a thing for chilli jam. It’s so versatile, and can add depth and a kick to any dish. It’s great in a sandwich, on a burger, or with cheese and crackers. I’ve always got chillies and tomatoes in the house, and sometimes I don’t get much use out of them before they…
Spinach & Goat’s Cheese Ravioli
Ever since making fresh pasta over the summer, I’ve been thinking about when I was going to buy a pasta roller and get making some fresh pasta. Lo and behold, I didn’t have to. When a friend was cleaning out her house, she found an old one that nobody used, but was in perfect condition….
Lime & Garlic Chicken with Avocado
It’s been a while since I’ve done a recipe from my mum’s magazine clippings, so it was long overdue! This is a recipe I’ve always been intrigued by, because I love avocado and chicken (and lime and garlic). And while it’s meant to be a barbecue recipe, I baked it in the oven, and it…
M&M Cookies
It’s always good to have an arsenal of recipes up your sleeve for days when you just need to do some baking (or cooking), because there’s a typhoon outside, or the weather is horrible, or you just need a stress release. Cookies are super quick to make, the batter takes minutes, and then they only…
Brown Sugar & Date Bundt Cake
I went into a kitchen shop the other day, one I’ve walked past hundreds of times and never realised was a kitchen shop. It’s a typical Hong Kong-looking “everything” shop. Plastic storage boxes stacked up outside, mops and feather dusters. It looked like a household shop. But, I had time to kill and decided to…
