Australian meat pie recipe!! From midnight post-pub feasting to footy games, quick lunches on the run to essential road trip pit stops, Aussies never need an excuse to get stuck into meat pies!...

How smug do you feel? (Answer: VERY!) Mexican Meatballs I probably shouldn’t admit this, given I run a recipe website and I feel like I’m expected to have a positive attitude to all things food. The truth is I don’t really have the patience for meatball rolling. I’ve previously whined that someone really needs to invent a meatball rolling device. I picture some tube-like thing into which meat is stuffed, then perfectly shaped meatballs come plopping out the other end....

Never be disappointed by gluggy, mushy, bland Mexican Rice again! Red Mexican Rice – an essential Mexican side! 2 years ago today, I was in Oaxaca, arguably the food capital of Mexico and an ideal place to watch the festivities of Day of the Dead, an annual multi-day holiday during which family and friends gather to pray and celebrate the life of those who have passed. It’s colourful, it’s joyous, there’s a seemingly endless stream of parades that weave through the streets....

Brought to you in partnership with Farmers Union Greek Yogurt. Have you ever seen a more spectacular looking rice dish?? Look at that insane golden crust!!!! Look at that beautiful vibrant yellow rice!! Word of warning: Don’t take this Persian Saffron Rice to gatherings because it will steal the show and the host will get annoyed. Instead, make this as part of your own Persian Feast. Because it’s PERSIAN WEEK here on RecipeTin Eats!...

Pistachio Pear Tart My simple mind classifies pies as “cosy” while tarts as “a bit show off”. Tarts are just that much more elegant in my mind, with finer pastry and being neatly sliceable, they present more beautifully. Think of the glossy sweet creations gracing the shelves of your favourite high street patisserie! Well, this pear tart might be a bit more on the rustic side compared to your average high street shop (that said, I’ve got a posher, but very easy one coming up soon for you!...

Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Risoni (Orzo) This is a quick dinner recipe that will tick all your boxes: ✅ fast and easy to make – 10 minute cook!✅ made with everyday pantry staples✅ highly customisable – use whatever vegetables and proteins you want✅ complete meal – protein, vegetables, carbs, dairy!✅ the sort of food that’s universally appealing, one that big and little people love Nope, they’re the same thing! Tiny rice shaped pasta that’s widely available nowadays, it’s called risoni here in Australia but most countries in the world call it orzo....

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Thai Beef Salad I’m probably completely biased, but I think that Asian salads are the best in the world. I love them because they are interesting and the dressings are so good. The chances of me ordering a salad as a dish (not a side) at any restaurant other than an Asian one is almost zero....

Use it now to make Thai Green Curry – or keep it for later! Thai Green Curry Paste recipe! Usually, the main reason to make curry paste yourself is because you just can’t get the same intense, fresh flavour in a jar. And while that holds true for green curry paste, the other very big advantage is that you can control the spiciness without compromising flavour or the signature green colour....

Let’s make this cookbook OURS! PS That’s just a mock cover!! Finally – a cookbook! This is real – a RecipeTin cookbook is happening! I’m committed – I can’t back out, I’ve signed a publishing contract with Pan Macmillan, a big name publishing house here in Australia. Excited, nervous, daunted, scared…. all these words come to mind as I sit here, preparing myself for what will be the the most important and biggest project I have ever undertaken in my professional life....

When I entertain for large groups, I inevitably do a BBQ because it’s an easy way to feed a lot of people. And also the men always take control of the grill which means I can sit back and sip champagne with the girls – as old school as that sounds, my friends and I don’t complain! 😂 Asian grills are my favourite. If you’ve ever been to any part of Asia, you’ll know that some of the best street food is cooked over charcoal, whether it be Yakitori (chicken skewers) in Japan, Satay Chicken and Suckling Pig in Bali or Gai Yang (Marinated Chicken) in Thailand....

Caesar salad Wonton Cups Because I had leftover ingredients from the Chicken Caesar Salad I shared earlier this week, I decided to use them up by making little bite size versions. Caesar Salad overload? Never! Especially not when you transform them into these cute little cups. I love bite size food not only because they’re cute, but also because you don’t need crockery or utensils (very attractive for someone who doesn’t have a (working) dishwasher)....

Gasp, shock horror, I’m finally posting a salad! Long overdue….so much for my New Years’ resolution to post more green things here on RecipeTin Eats.🙌🏼 Can I be honest? I’ve actually made and photographed a handful of salads….salads with oomph, not wimpy ones. I mean salads that are healthy but still truly satisfying to have as meals. I write up the recipe and even schedule it to publish….then I get distracted by something I’m even more excited about....

Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce Real “restaurant style” Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce is NOT just oyster sauce (despite what you will read in many recipes claiming it is that simple!). A sauce made with just oyster sauce will just taste of that – plain oyster sauce dolloped on greens. And if you’re happy with that, then there’s no need to read further because this recipe for real Restaurant Style Chinese Greens with Oyster Sauce has more than 1 ingredient in the sauce!...

For a No Knead version, make this recipe using the No Knead Bread Rolls recipe – super easy! I invited my mother over for brunch today. Wanting her to taste test a few things I was experimenting with. Well, truth be told, I was having a big cooking day and wanted a kitchen-hand. Within a few minutes of arriving and discovering the real reason I asked her over, she disappeared outside on the pretence of playing with my dog (works every time)....

Fennel Salad Fennel is so refreshing, I love it raw. Shaving it is a great way to use it in salads because it really tones down the aniseed flavour that many people find off-putting about fennel. In fact, I’ve served shaved fennel salads to quite a few people who aren’t a fan of fennel and they all loved it! This fennel salad is a classic combination of flavours that’s an outright copy of salads I’ve had at fine dining restaurants and good bistros....

This is a simple spice blend that is a copycat of those jars of seasoning for fries sold in the spice aisle at supermarkets. It adds more flavour to French fries than using just plain salt, as well as a lovely warm red colour. This is a fairly small batch recipe but you probably won’t use it all in one go so store leftovers in an airtight container between uses....

I am yet to find a form of potatoes I don’t like. Mashed, fried, roasted, pureed, smashed, soup, salad, gnocchi, rosti, hasselbacks, gratin, stuffed, croquette, chips….the list goes on and on. And hash browns are right at the top of the list. I can’t think of a better way to start a day than with a salty, crispy, greasy, moist, freshly made hash brown. Plus, it’s the ultimate hangover cure....

Sometimes I share recipes with very few ingredients, like my 5 ingredient Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, 5 ingredient Honey Garlic Salmon and 3 ingredient Shortbread Cookies. But I never force or recreate recipes to make them with less ingredients. They are just great as they are. Like my mum’s homemade Teriyaki Sauce Marinade. A real Japanese recipe, it’s only got 3 ingredients (I get water for free!). And that’s the way it is supposed to be made....

Marinated Grilled Vegetables (BBQ or oven!) I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a vegetable recipe!! 😂 I mean, we’ve all done basic grilled vegetables. You might’ve even tried your hand tossing vegetables in a basic marinade before barbecuing them. But have you ever tossed grilled vegetables in a marinade AFTER grilling them?? They suck up flavour in a way that raw vegetables never will, and they taste like homemade antipasto vegetables....
