Every time I hear the word frittata, I can only picture it in Harrison Ford’s voice in Morning Glory, a movie about a morning talk show. If you don’t know what I’m talking about click here and go to the 2:35 mark. Anyway, I had a bunch of asparagus and mushrooms that needed using up,…

Mojo Pork
Have you seen the movie Chef? If you haven’t, and you love food, you should watch it. It stars Jon Favreau and is partly about his re-discovering his love of cooking, without giving away the whole story. The film is full of delicious looking food, including Mojo Pork for Cubano sandwiches. The recipes were developed…
Pork Belly Tacos & Pineapple Salsa
I must firstly apologise, as I didn’t take photos of the pineapple salsa being prepared, only as part of the larger meal. However,this is because it is literally a matter of dicing all of the ingredients and mixing them together – so easy! In previous posts this week, you’ll have seen Mexican Spinach & Mushroom…
Sri Lankan Fish Curry
I know the term curry gets attached to a lot of dishes, and to be honest it doesn’t actually apply to a specific dish. It’s more of a cuisine. Think of the different types of curry you can have: balti, bhuna, biriyani, madras, josh, vindaloo, masala, dopiasa, etc. I can’t name them all, but they…
Vegan Bowl of Green
I promised more vegetarian friendly dishes, and this one is easy as anything. I never knew green tea noodles existed until a friend cooked dinner for me a couple of months ago. They’re soba noodles, so they’re lighter that your typical egg and wheat noodles, if that’s important to you. You can add any vegetables…
BBQ Baby Back Ribs
I know I promised more vegetarian recipes, but this is too good not to post about. I ordered Jones’ BBQ Sauce after watching the Fab 5 work their magic during season 3 of Queer Eye. With the help of a friend and his friend, I was able to get the sauce from Kansas City to…
Vegan Sun-dried Tomato & Artichoke Chickpea Pasta
I was browsing Marks & Spencer Food the other day, and came across chickpea pasta. It’s literally just chickpea flour and water – so it’s gluten-free and vegan. Plus being made of chickpeas, it’s also lower in carbohydrates for those who are trying to reduce their simple carb intake. On this same browse, I came…
Vegetarian Stove-Top Tagine
I’ve had a few friends ask me to make more stove-top recipes as they don’t have ovens (thanks tiny HK flats), so have been looking into a few more recipes that don’t require any oven. It’s not been difficult, but they just don’t all look super presentable for the blog. I’ve also been experimenting with…
Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry
This is a vegetarian-friendly version of the Beef Wellington posted previously. I knew I wanted to make a vegetarian puff pastry so that I could maintain my vegetarian-during-the-week plan. It went down really well with everyone at work, as well as with me. Definitely a great vegetarian meal, especially with a side of grilled asparagus….
Beef Wellington
Beef Wellington was one of my favourite meals growing up. Mum made it for special occasions, and I was always going back for seconds and thirds. It was just so delicious. I’ve made it a few times for myself, but not in a while, and not in my tiny kitchen. I knew as soon as…
Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito
This is the first of many vegetarian dishes that I hope to write up for the blog. As I explained in my previous post, I’ve been sticking to a vegetarian diet during the week, and cutting my meat consumption to just over the weekends. It’s a way for me to have a positive environmental impact,…
Garlic Brown Butter Beef Tenderloin
So, I’ve been trying out a vegetarian lifestyle during the week, in a way to help lower my carbon footprint (as well as my food budget). In doing so, I’ve been coming up with a variety of vegetarian meals and side dishes to share on the blog. Some of them are not pretty, so I…
