I had some rice leftover from dinner the other day, and I didn’t want it to go to waste. But, I didn’t really fancy just having the rice as it was as a side dish, nor did I feel like making fried rice. So, I got my hands on some kale and broccoli, chucked it…

Smoked Salmon Egg Cups
You know those mornings when you just cannot be bothered to sort yourself some breakfast? No? Me neither. I’m one of those people who needs to eat before I leave the house, or I feel sick – it doesn’t matter what time it is. It doesn’t need to be a full-blown cooked breakfast, but I…
Chocolate Salami
Christmas is just around the corner, which means an indulgent months of cocktail parties, pre-Christmas catch ups over mulled wine, Christmas carols with mince pies, and Christmas lunches and dinners with friends and family that you won’t see on Christmas Day. I love Christmas, I really do. My Christmas starts on the 2nd of December…
One Year On – Giving Thanks and Pecan Pie
I can’t believe it’s been a year since starting this blog. My blog is still small, and still only read by (mostly) friends and family, but that doesn’t lessen the reason behind this blog. While I’ve expanded beyond just making recipes from my mum’s magazine clippings, the joy I get from making something that I…
Butternut Squash & Carrot Soup
It’s the season for squashes and soup. It’s starting to cool down here in HK, although the humidity is still in the 80% range. I’ve previously posted Good Woman’s Soup from my mum’s treasure trove of magazine clipping recipes.This soup is similar, in that it requires an immersion blending after all of the veggies have…
Homemade Stock
I always loved how convenient stock cubes were: just add to boiling water, stir, and use. But, there’s just nothing quite like homemade stock or broth, especially when you eat as many vegetables as I do. What do you do with your veggie scraps? Unless you have a compost, my bet is they get thrown out…
Roasted Pepper Bruschetta
When faced with the task of a pot luck for a small group of people, due to a friend visiting town, I wanted to go all out and make a million things. Reality set in when I realised that I had too much work due over the coming weeks to justify spending hours and hours…
Chilli Con Carne
I can’t believe I’ve been cooking for this blog for almost a year, and I haven’t put up my chilli con carne recipe! There was a time where I was known as the person to bring chilli to pot luck, usually alongside a tray of brownies. Chilli was my go-to when I wanted home-style cooking….
