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…

Cereal bars have always been such a convenient food. They’re a great snack when you’re craving something sweet, and filling. They’re also great for on-the-go breakfasts, when you are in a hurry.   Unfortunately, these beloved cereal bars are usually full of unnecessary sugars that we really do not need. For a while I have…

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…

I know, I know, it’s been a while since I updated the blog. I’m sorry for this, but it’s been the last week of school before the Christmas holidays … and it has been MANIC! The build up to Christmas never seems to slow down as I get older – it actually seems to get…

A while ago, thanks to a Reddit Gift Exchange, a stranger sent me a wonderful cookbook that was on my Amazon wishlist. This particular cookbook was created for lovers of all things cookie dough, and is aptly titled “The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook” by Lindsay Landis, from the blog Love and Olive Oil. Just like…

It’s another Christmas leftover recipe today, once again thanks to Jamie Oliver. There’s so much food in my fridge and freezer, I needed recipes that used up the leftovers in a way that allowed me to do something different. And yet, I still have some turkey meat left over (it’s in the freezer now). All…

It’s not even Christmas yet, but I’ve already got leftovers and recipes for leftovers. Thanks to some amazing gifts from an incredible friend, I was gifted both Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook and Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients. I spent an entire evening just poring through the books and wanting to make every recipe. So, I decided…

There’s something so comforting about roasted veg. While it’s generally a winter dish due to the seasonality of the vegetables, these days supermarkets give you the options all year round. Obviously, in terms of being environmentally friendly, it’s better to use seasonal veg for this dish. In Hong Kong it can be really difficult to…

I spent all day Saturday in the kitchen, from 8am until 5pm, with maybe a two hour break where I was having coffee with a friend. I loved it, I really did, but I need to explain how hectic my small apartment can get when I am on a mission. I also have a very…

Today’s recipe comes from a newspaper clipping that was valued enough to be typed up, and passed down through the family. Aptly named from the magazine that it came from, it is an easy, delicious soup that makes the perfect winter meal. I don’t remember the first time Mum made this for me, nor do…
